Many people consider driving a sport so here is a new world record for parallel parking in a tight spot! Hope he had good insurance in case he missed.

Wow! I can't even remember when I last parallel parked.

Is that sand on the ground to help him slide in there?


I was expecting an actual parallel park which would've been a lot more impressive imo.


I mean that was cool and all, but I feel like if you give any stunt driver that situation, they could do it in no more than 10 tries.

How did he get out? The only place I ever parallel park is at the square whenever I go out

Nice. I parallel park every day. I suck at it, but still I manage.

I'm skeered to parallel...so I avoid it...I'm not too bad at it...but it's one of those things I still think I'm gonna someday screw up....and someone will be watchin' and laughin'......which I guess really doesn't matter, cause they probably suck at it too.....

I was taking the class A driving test with my Ford F-350 and 38 ft fifth wheel and they made me parallel park that rig! Of course I will never do that again.

I am no expert, but more tourist go to Jaxsonville Beach out by the pier. There is surfing there as well. There is also a lot of surfers at the north end of Hanna Park, which is in Atlantic Beach. But there are beautiful beaches from Fernandina south to Orlando. Some are more upscale than others, some are state parks, and some are remote. Depends on what you want to do. I don't think you will be disappointed unless you are used to surfing the North Shore of Hawaii.
