Parkes Australia

Parkes Australia has been operating since 1983 and is based at a factory in Byron Bay, New South Wales, where the business also welcomes visitors in person. It shapes shortboards, longboards, fish boards, and kneeboards, and offers custom tailoring, deck grip, and travel covers, along with worldwide delivery of both new and used boards. Boards are sold under names including Midget Farrelly, David Parkes, Scott Dillon, Friar Tuck kneeboards, and Garrett Parkes, and the site describes its shaper as a "Champion Kneeboard Shaper" specialising in kneeboard design alongside modern classic Malibu and Byron Bay-style boards. The business states its boards are proudly made in Australia and highlights ties to surfing world champions, including Kelvin Weir, the 2007 Kneeboard World Junior Champion, and Garrett Parkes, the 2007 World Champion Under-16s title holder.
