Parks Bonifay Documentary

Alliance MultiMedia, RedBull and Parks Bonifay have created a documentary featuring one of the greatest wakeboarders, Parks Bonifay.  Parks has become a household name amongst wakeboarders from his ability to go large, his numerous sponships and experiments (ie. wake-berg) and a wakeboarding style that only Parks can maintain.

The Press Release:
It took 27 years, locations all over the world and the last half a decade in production … but the Parks Bonifay Documentary is finally here. This tale of a man, his unconventional youth and unbelievable adulthood, flirting with disaster and challenging life, the triumphs of winning everything in sight, and tribulations of incomprehensible injury, the considerable fun and the unexpected pain and the pressure all add up to one thing: his movie. Come along as the life of an extraordinary athlete and his incredible family unfolds before you. It’s a life worth seeing; from the time when we watched helplessly as the sports’ greatest all-time athlete almost drowned in three feet of water, to a broken steering cable on a rickety film boat bobbing in the Teahupoo channel, to the historical footage of the world’s youngest rider on the water. The story of Parks Bonifay brings both never seen before mind blowing content and the untold story of the most highly acclaimed athlete in our sport. Join him for the ride.

“This is an incredible story of both athlete and family. Literally, Parks has been in the media spot light since he was six months old, and the new footage that is exclusive to this movie will illustrate why he is still the sport’s biggest name.” Bill McCaffray, Publisher, Alliance Wakeboard Magazine.

Remember boys and girls when wakeboarding consider safety first!  but second is style.

the Ronix Vorn vest is true style – currently for men only.

It’s apparently “Parks Bonifay’s front zip elastic spinning assault garment of choice. ” according to Ronix and they wouldn’t lie.

The guys at Red Bull have once again stretched the boundaries, going to extremes on a sport that is already truly extreme. What is Wakeberg you ask? Take 3 leaders of wakeboarding– Parks Bonifay, Adam Errington and Josh Sanders, to Newfoundland (east Canada) on a two-day expedition to use icebergs as natural kickers and sliders.

While this idea sounds like another Red-Bull publicity stunt – which we at wakeboarding.lifestyleempire.com encourage – the boys are already considering a return trip next year.

Red Bull keep up the good work.
