This week, Parks and Shane sit down with two of the freshest faces in wakeboarding — Daniel Johnson and Stefano Comollo — representing the next generation coming up out of Clermont.

Part of the crew known as the Outliners, these two have gone from local groms to riding in the pro division and making their presence known. Daniel (DJ) hails from North Carolina, while Stefano is originally from Italy, but their shared drive and time riding together has pushed both of them to a whole new level.

The boys get into:
🔥 What tricks they’re currently working on and pushing forward
🏆 What it’s like stepping into the pro wakeboarding scene
🧠 Helping Shane finally name an old trick he did years ago
🎙️ Turning the tables and asking Parks & Shane questions about the studio
⚡ Rapid fire questions, trivia, and getting to know the personalities behind the riding

These guys are right on the edge of breaking through in a big way, and it’s only a matter of time before they’re running with the top names in the sport.

If you want a look at the future of wakeboarding — this is it.

This week the boys welcome longtime friend Chad Sharpe to the studio — along with the always entertaining Erik Ruck. Known as the “Crazy Canuck/ marbles/chowda/cha,” Chad has been a friend of Parks and Shane since they teenagers and was a core member of the legendary Pointless crew.

The episode turns into a full throwback session as the guys talk about growing up together on tour, building rails, traveling the world, and creating some of the wildest moments in wakeboarding

The conversation dives into:
🇨🇦 Why Chad is the way he is — and what it means to truly be Canadian
🛠️ The early days of building crazy rails and gaps
🚀 Chad usually being the first one to hit the biggest setups
🚗 A few rental cars that definitely didn’t survive the trips
📬 Patreon questions sent in by fans
🎥 Danny Ventura sending in never-before-seen footage of the legendary Projects Gap

It’s a classic hang with old friends full of stories from the golden era of wakeboarding, plenty of laughs, and the kind of memories that only come from years on the road together.

No guest this week — just the brothers back in the studio doing what they do best… pure banter.

Parks and Shane catch up on what they’ve been getting into lately, dive into Patreon questions, and bring back a fan-favorite segment with a call to their buddy Danny Hampson for a classic “How’s the Fish Biting?” check-in.

Things get competitive when Parks puts Shane on the spot with a ridiculous challenge — guessing how many digits are in the number he’s thinking of — with pride officially on the line.

The episode also covers:
🎣 The return of How’s the Fish Biting?
📬 Answering Patreon questions
🎵 Their favorite songs they’ve ever wakeboarded to in videos
😂 Random tangents, brother debates, and classic Bonifay chaos

No structure. No filter. Just two brothers talking life, wakeboarding, music, and whatever else comes up.

If you like the episodes where it feels like you’re just hanging in the studio with the boys — this one’s for you.

This week, Parks and Shane are joined by Rivers Hedrick, one of the most dominant wakeboarders in the world right now — male or female. Rivers has a lot happening, and this episode dives straight into everything that comes with being at the top of the game.

The crew talks about her brand-new video project Domain, what went into filming and editing it, and the reality of juggling riding, traveling, competing, and creating at the highest level. Rivers also opens up about the closure of her home cable park, Terminus, and how that shift has impacted her routine and mindset.

🎥 Filming, editing, and creating at a world-class level
🌊 Life after the closing of Terminus
🏆 Competing, winning, and staying motivated

Bonifay Banter — Episode 24
This episode is a little different — and one you don’t want to miss.

Uncle Rusty Napier joins his nephews Parks and Shane in the Banter Studio, and from the moment he sits down… he pretty much takes over. And honestly, the boys weren’t about to interrupt — because Rusty came loaded with stories.

Rusty dives deep into his life, including his time serving in Vietnam as a Lieutenant in the Air Force, where he shares firsthand stories about being drafted, following in his father’s footsteps, and multiple moments where he was nearly shot out of the sky. It’s raw, intense, and fascinating — a life experience far removed from anything Parks and Shane have known.

The episode also covers:
✈️ What it was like being drafted and serving in Vietnam
📸 Rusty bringing in old family photos — some dating back to the 1800s
🏌️ Letting the boys know just how bad they are at golf (and that they’ll never beat him)
❤️ Pride, perspective, and family history across generations

This isn’t your typical Bonifay Banter episode — but it’s a powerful one. Full of wild stories, humor, history, and moments that will have you completely locked in.

Tune in, buckle up, and locate the nearest emergency exit above the wings — this one’s a trip.

Parks and Shane are joined by Tyler Bereman, one of the most creative and fearless riders in motocross. The boys sit down with Tyler to break down the insane Island Hopper project he just completed with Red Bull and Apple — a one-of-a-kind mission where Tyler motocrossed across multiple islands, sending massive gaps and pulling off unreal riding in one of the wildest locations imaginable.
Parks and Tyler back from years of crossing paths on Red Bull projects, and Parks even played a small role in helping with the Island Hopper, making this episode extra special. Together, they dive deep into what it really took to bring a project of this size to life.

🏝️ The idea behind Island Hopper and how it came together
🏍️ What it takes to build, test, and send massive island gaps
🎥 Working with Red Bull & Apple on a top-tier production
🛠️ The planning, setbacks, and pressure behind each individual set
🤝 Cross-sport friendships and respect between action sports athletes

It’s a fun, insightful conversation with a world-class athlete pushing limits in a totally different lane, and the boys were fired up to have Tyler in the studio.
