Man how good is this bloke getting!!!!

Every comp he logs at least 1 perfect score, usually backs it up with another high 9 and still blows the back out of waves and soars above em with the new school.

Last year he did that F1 speed bank turn after a ginormous barrel followed by another barrel with spit reo TEN

This year ginormous windy barrel with speed pump to another cover up TEN

so glad I surf like him with my quad and knubster set up, look out waves this weekend

If I shave my head, tan up and ..................

I reckon Parko's performance today matched Kelly's.

His hands behind the back bottom turn in round 4 into long barrel

So relaxed in such waves of consequence.

And on what was it - a 5'9 epoxy number with quad setup!

Looks like that fishing trip did Parko some good

Kelly's first wave in the final would have made it another 10 if he had got out, got a bit cocky and went to low. Hack;]

Fanning comboed with a first wave of 9.2!!!!!!!!!

Insane waves in this comp but only for the best in the world eh!! They look super tricky to pick the right line when it's barrelling and windy

I for one would have been ****ting bricks and when i had built up the courage to go on a smaller one would've kooked it and become reef fodder

Speaking of reef fodder, Micro Hall got smashed in one of his heats did the reverse scorpion over a coral head and cracked 3 vertebrae!!!
Lucky man

Look out secret metro spot just north of renamed hotel....Im fired up and inspired - the knubster is goin in and im winnin heats with10s
