Parker Coffin is a class act. Whether on land or in the lineup, the younger Coffin always exudes good vibes and honorability and is never one to take things for granted. After recently making the decision to depart from his sponsor Roark to pursue a new opportunity with Body Glove, Coffin stylishly put together an edit (with the help of Alex Kilauano) titled “Farewell” and dedicated it to his now-ex-sponsor.
“This is a video dedicated to everybody at Roark,” writes Parker in the opening minutes of the edit. “Thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to be a part of your brand for the last 5 years. Thank you for once-in-a-lifetime experiences all over the world alongside an epic crew. I learned a ton, saw new places and made memories that will last a lifetime.”
“I will always look back on my time with Roark with fond memories….However, it is time for a new chapter to begin and I have decided to pursue another opportunity in 2023. My time with Roark gave me the space I needed to pursue my dreams as a surfer and ultimately has helped shape me into a better person. I couldn’t be more grateful for it all. I wish the brand and everyone involved the best moving forward.”
Class act, Mr. Coffin.
