Everyone likes a giveway — it’s like winning the lottery except without all the money and temporary fame. (Besides, don’t most winners end up broke anyway?) Anyway, Dakine wants to give away a Joel Parkinson signature pad along with a leash and a day bag. Dress up that new board just like Parko would.
So, how do you win you ask? It’s quite simple. Answer this question in the comment area below:
Why should Parko win a world title?
Explain in 30 words or less and we’ll look for the best response this Friday (the 14th at noon PST).
Cheers.







He surfs in a way I can only dream of.
Parko deserves a title because he’s earned it. He’s finished in the top five of the tour seven times. He’s better than ever and it’s time to claim the crown.
Eyes open, Hands feeling for space.
Joel has flow, style, and the skills to show. Hes been trying for years and no matter how close he gets his smile never fades. Joel DESERVES a world title.
Because the best surfing I ever witnessed was watching Andy and Parko stick elevator drops in huge dumping shorebreak, coincidentally they were the only two out using dakine deck pads.
He is more winning than Charlie Sheen.
Joel Parkinson should win a world title because he’s the smoothest and sexiest surfer on the tour.
should win because it is one of the best athletes in ASP, and more consistent than ever participating for many years. And it’s my favorite surfer! GO PARKO
It’s not a question of why should he win. It’s a question of why shouldn’t he win. And the answer is simple: He can’t seal the deal.
speed power and flow.
Judging by the fact he has never been on Baywatch, Parko should not win the world title.
… and on day 8 there was Parko.
Surfing Soleil!
Because he’s got the best cutback in the world, that alone needs to get him a title. Plus he rips in all conditions, he made the final in Rio and chopes this year and has won 3 triple crowns. Joel’s going to string it all together this year and win the 2012 WCT
You got the wording wrong, it’s why should the world title deserve Parko?
He deserves it because he is Surfing Soleil!
Parko deserves to win a world title because his is the sultan of style, makes sick waves look simple, and is the most humble man on tour.
He is a hard working surfer for sure. It takes endurance and a lot of strength to be dedicated to such a physical sport. It looks so fun and he seems to show his gift with such ease! He is wonderful to watch. He deserves to win due to his fight to be a great athlete!
The world title deserves Joel. He just flows, he makes surfing look so easy. He has a unique style and he’s just powerful in the water. You can’t stop him from what he’s good at.
Joel Parkinson is one of the best surfers in the world and it’s damn time he gets recognition for it.
Parko is one of the best surfers in the world as well as one of my favorites and he deserves the title.
