ARNETTE WELCOMES PARKER COFFIN TO GLOBAL SURF TEAM

ENCINITAS, CA – April 4, 2013 – Arnette is stoked to announce that West Coast surf standout, Parker Coffin, has been added to their Global Surf Team roster. One of the new generation of Californian young guns, the 17-year-old Parker is a Santa Barbara local who loves to have fun in the water, but also knows how to make it count when the horn sounds to start his next heat.

“Parker is a great addition to the team. He bucks down when it’s time to compete, but definitely enjoys getting out and free-surfing with his friends. Parker is such a fun loving and creative guy, he fits the Arnette vibe perfectly,” commented Brent Bearden, Arnette Team & Events Manager.

Outside of his competition schedule, Parker has been staying busy filming for projects that will be announced in the coming months. Other companies supporting Parker in his surfing pursuits include Volcom, Channel Islands Surfboards and Accessories, Monster Energy, Sex Wax, Mophie and A Frame surf shop.

“I am super stoked to join the elite crew on the Arnette team. I really look forward to growing with the brand and having a long lasting relationship with these guys,” commented Parker.

Other personalities on the Arnette Global Surf Team include Josh Kerr, Mason Ho, Zeke Lau, Chippa Wilson, Freddy P and Nathan Fletcher.

Watch Parker rip in his new webisode "Strange Brains" released through his clothing sponsor Volcom.
