Florida's Gulf Coaster Alek Parker is a freak and we love him because of this. He has an uncanny ability to pull off the sickest moves. Spinning upside down three sixties, big fat double grab airs, and tailslides without end make him a truly entertaining surfer to watch.

He is photogenic and gifted at the same time and he is certainly not bashful. Get a camera and your in for some A plus surf shots, video, and some funny stuff too. Alek is a cross between Derek Zoolander and Rubberman. The guy has personality in the water and out. He might be considered the class clown but when you get him in the water it's all about ripping and pushing the envelope. Once his board hits the lip, a clown he is not.

Alek made all the grades as an amateur and was a standout in the NSSA. He has had solid performances on the WQS making some semis and finals. As a pro he divides his time by going on photo trips, shooting video, and creating his own video projects. He is always and the move and can possibly coming to surf spot near you.
