Parks Bonifay

Parks Bonifay was born in Winter Haven, Florida on September 30, 1981. Bonifay is considered one of world's greatest wakeboarders.

His present hometown is Clermont, FL. He became a professional wakeboarder in 1994. Parks took the wakeboarding world by storm as a 14-year-old, winning the X-Games in his first visit. He has held many major titles including the PWT titles in 1999 and 2001. When his dad put him on skis at a young age, he became according to Guinness book of world records the youngest water skier in the world at just 6 months, 29 days old.

Parks became the first documented wakeboarder to land the 1080 (a switch toeside 1080), doing so at a Bill Doster photoshoot in 1999. Brandon Bell, Mark Kenney, Rusty Malinoski, Danny Harf, Brad Smeele, Aaron Rathy, Jimmy Lariche, Tino Santori, Bob Soven, and Steele Lafferty have recently landed multiple variations of the 1080
Bonifay is currently a recurring star on MTV's extreme action sports show Nitro Circus.

Bonifay is sponsored by Ronix, Fox, Red Bull, Spy, MasterCraft, and Performance Ski & Surf.
