Oakley World Pro Junior in Bali and Garrett Parkes

[Scott]

Garrett has been surfing very well and is now in the 4th round. If he wins his next dual heat he'll be in quarters.

Here is highlight of two good waves from his round two heat. I think that opening tube ride shows a lot of influence from his father's style...

Garrett Parkes is surfing very well..as is Davey Cathells from North Narrabeen

the standard of junior standup surfing from Australia (and the rest of the world) is extraordinary

Garrett with a nice come-from-behind victory over Ezekiel Lau to reach the semi-finals! Surfing very confidently right now...

[Scott]

Update: Garrett could not advance out of his semi-final, losing to the eventual contest champion, Davey Cathels. Although not behind by much in his semi heat, the ocean went essentially flat for the final 8 minutes of the heat and Garrett never had the chance to use that time to better his earlier scores. But still a good showing for the son of Dave Parkes.

Great summation Scott
Headed down ,up ,over ?to Canggu in the hope of bumping into the older Parkes ,took"black betty"along for the ride and so glad i did ,these young guys ripped it up .I thought Potz was going to have an orgasm ,maybe he did
The 9.63 that won it for Davey Cathels of NN nearly blew the speakers
hey Bruce tell Brett i got it all he will be stoked
So whats this got to do with kneeboard surfing apart from NN producing 5 or 6 world champions 3 of them kneeboard surfers
or maybe if your wondering how a top class kneelo would go in similar condition check out "sharing a few with Stew "on youtube

Go the Wallabies huh? sorry couldnt resist feels like OZ is on a roll , Garrett was only ever going to lose it to another Aussie
