Rare Sights: Here’s Joel Parkinson on a Skimboard at Kelly’s Wave

Seeing a mountain lion cross the road as you drive along the highway at night would be a rare sight near Lemoore, California. For that matter, seeing a herd of elk in that desolate region between Bakersfield and Fresno might not be an everyday thing, either. An even rarer sight? Joel Parkinson on a skimboard. And double that down with Joel Parkinson on a skimboard at Kelly’s Wave (he was rumored to borrow the slick little slider from Kalani Robb). Consider yourself lucky. While Parko doesn’t exactly go skim style–he pretty much sticks to his usual beautiful bottom turns and precesion barrel riding–you’ve been witness to a not-often-seen sight: Parko on a skimboard.
