The 14 year old from Santa Barbara known for being one of the premiere west coast rippers and a grom with a never-ending sense of humor, decided to join the blogging world. The “Young Wise Tails” blog site shared with his older brother Conner. www.youngwisetails.com
Parker lives the life that most groms his age dream about. Traveling to dreamy places with unreal waves, grinding out mediocre waves in surf contests leaving with handfuls of trophies while enjoying the company of all the girls that are drawn to him.
Like I said Parker is a funny lad and it’s worth peaking into his life and seeing the world the way he sees it. It will make you laugh and want to be living in his shoes.
After and grueling process of mulitple workouts at different beaches along the west coast Surfing America has selected their team to compete in the Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Cmapionships in Auckland New Zealand on January 20-28, 2010.
Spy is very pleased to have Evan Thompson in the boys under 18 division and Parker Coffin in the boys under 16 division representing the US in this competition.

This past weekend on October 24-25 down at Oceanside Pier on the northside was NSSA’s Open season #4. The waves were small but fun shaped and the team was ripping. Luke Davis was in typical form on Sat but he is so punk rock that he chose not to show up on Sun the final day.
Parker and Kanoa were standouts as well. As expected they surf themselves into the finals. Kanoa got 2nd in the Open boys division and Parker got 3rd in the Open juniors and won his 1st Open mens division event.
Check back for the video later on this week showing the guys blowing up.
Kanoa 2nd place Open boys division
