In Episode 17 of Bonifay Banter, Parks and Shane are joined by two of the best groms in wakeboarding today — Cruze E-Boi and Blaze Reid. These young riders have blown up on social media, going viral time and time again for pushing the limits and showing the world why they’re the next big thing in wake.

This one’s a true brothers banter episode as the Bonifays sit down with the grom duo (the Reid brothers) to talk about everything from the tricks they’d name, to trying Tootsie Rolls (the candy) for the first time. It’s raw, funny, and a reminder that wakeboarding’s future is in great hands.

Parks and Shane also take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on what it was like when they were 12 and 13 — full of stoke, progression, and big dreams.

👉 Tune in for a mix of laughs, stories, and next-gen energy with CruzieeBoi and Blaze.
