Pics of Billy from today
 

It was a great day out there today. Billy was putting on a clinic, as usual.
The pics are here:

we are so damn lucky to be able to sit on a beach and watch this guy go off everytime the wind picks up.

funny thing is that everyone else (yes, even you Ebone) pales in comparision. when billy shows up to EB on a crowded weekend afternoon all the gawkers immediately divert their attention to us fools as Mr. Parker goes to town.

one thing to boost about 100% higher than everyone.
another thing to boost unhooked.
another thing to boost unhooked, throw in a handlepass then throw a full kiteloop at the end just incase anyone had anything to say...

And land them all clean about 95 percent of the time.
Most riders anywhere pale in comparison. ;)

i SWEAR ive seen the rooster-tail wake that Billy creates appear before he lands one of those huge jump/pass/loops... some sort of vortex / blackhole phenomenon on the bottom of his board.. someone from NASA needs to take a look.

AND....
why the hell is Flexifoil not sending this guy all over the earth to compete against the best of em.

then again, we would never see him.

riders like lenten and hadlow and other competitive pros are rarely back in their own country.. always on the road..

plus, he would put St. Pete on the map and we'd get tons and tons of outsiders filling our launches and it would be all crazy for us locals..

better he not leave.

Billy is all the above but also something that really admire about him is his great personality. First time I met him at “The Undertow”, when I was starting at the sport I approach to him without even know who he was and we had a nice conversation. Second time I saw him at EB probably two or three weeks after I first met him for the first time and he waived at me and call me by my name. He’s an amazing kiter with a great personality. It's great to have Billy representing the Bay Area nationally and internationally.

still windy?

Support the Billy Parker FUND
 

Everyone out there thinks Billy is such a great rider.... and ya know what... HE IS!!! He is something for St Pete and all of Tampa Bay to be proud of. He finished 103rd in the world last year and only competed in 1 event.
Since Flexi seems to be kinda missing it...I think we should come together and support him.

The next PKRA event is in Cabarete on June 26. American Airlines has a special but we need to book soon. It cost about $800 for a week trip there. I have no doubt that he will do his best and make all of us proud. My company, O~Studio Kitchen and Bath, has deposited $100 into the Billy Parker fund. Your financial suport will be greatly appreciated.The paypal account is: raver_jay@excite.com

Since Billy does not check this forum please keep it on the DOWNLOW. Time is limited so please pledge SOON. We will surprise him in 2 weeks with airline tickets if response is adequate.

Thanks in Advance Everyone,
Jay

Sounds like a plan. If 30 people all give 25 bucks, it'll add up fast. :D
