Over the years some of the best kneeboarders in the world have surfed
for Parksey.
Team riders have included world champions like Simon Farrer (Simon
was the one of first Friar Tuck sponsored riders to win a World
Title way back in the 80s) and countless hot surfers throughout
the world. Current international team riders include: Craig Ashdown,
Steen Barnes, Craig McDonald, Don Harris & Ralph Sanford. Of
course, the number one source of feedback is David Parkes, still
out there everyday refining the designs.
Further
evidence of the strength of our team was the showing of Parkes team
riders in first
place in five of the eight categories at
the 2000 Kneeboard World championship.
