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.

When is Joel Parkinson – the smoothest surfer on tour – going to win a world title?
Parko should win a world title because… because… well would ya just look at that smile.
…also he can shred like no other brother..
Parko is one of the smoothest and most powerful surfers on tour and loves being with his beautiful family!
Parko should win because he has some of the best turns in the buisness. Power surfing is now. Power surfing will never die
Think of the beautiful poetic justice for Parko to chase down and beat Mick after all that’s happened. Everyone loves an underdog – Go Parko & Trey!!!
Parko winning is like me eating cereal for breakfast. You don’t ask why. It just makes sense and has for years.
He should win because he is very high performance surfer and he know how to focus when he is surfing and has his mind concentrated on what to do to win the title, and he is very talented in surfing. Pls pick me. Sorry for passing the 30 words.
Parko should win because he keeps power surfing alive and his smooth style is unmatchable. Parko charges. He just deserves to finally win the world title! Parko is AWESOME!!!
why should he win? his distinctive style, natural talent, uncanny ability. his consistently above satisfactory results; always one of the best. finally, he’s been amazing for years, its his turn!
Parko should win cause he kills it. Plus my bday is on the 18th. Seen park slay it in tavarua.
ripping, carving, onlookers marveling, flying, shredding, where is he heading? incredible battles where he wins the world title!
Parko needs to win a world title because its already a travesty that the smoothest surfer on tour hasn’t won one yet, due to some unlikely circumstances. Parko 2012!
Parko should win because he is 1/2 dolphin!
yes
His style is flawless, what else should there be? There’s a lot of mushy riders out there, so the fact that he’s got things so clean he should definitely win.
Parko is one of the most talented, inspiring and fun guys on the tour, great style and complete who rips in small surf or get huge tubes when is massive.
Parko should win a world title because he has managed to be a top surfer and for him to win the world would add on to his amazing legacy.
Well i think Parko should win simply not that the fact that he can rip,carv and shred up waves but because he does it like no other man on earth can with grace like a ballerina.Every surfer on this planet, and the galaxy (including me) will hold him as their idol….
Hottest Aussie male surfer on the planet…enuf said !
Joel charges hard on evey wave and is defenetely SKAKA ! SHAKA ! \(:))/
Parko should win because he has the skill set, talent, drive, determination and the attitude to embody who a world champion should be
Parko will win with the fury of his almost unibrow.
I don’t think he ever will if mick keeps on winning. Either way, parko’s style is the smoothest and he has a crazy frontside hack!
Parko should win the world title coz he is f#cking awesome. He has everything in his bag of tricks and clearly the best style on tour.
Parko 2012 World Champion !!!!
Power, Airs, Radical, Kills it, Obviously has the talent. PARKO.
He’s actually one of those guys who only needs one win against the right opponent to gain some momentum. Say what you will about his sometimes is look and surfing being “generic” but I think it could work for him if they pushed him as a “back to basics” duel against his opponents, at last Parko presence is going to end up being a decisive factor in the title battle. If he deserves it? Yes… but work hard and try it hard… For sure…
Drive. He’s got it. Talent. It’s there. Success. Mandatory.
Just because all of us Joel’s need someone to look up to…..
Because is the most stylish surfer in the world, combinates both power surfing with progressive maneuvers which every asp surfer must do, also he did well in tahiti (first time)
Parks deserves the world title because of his ability to make surfing seem flawless, powerful, and unique all at the same time.
Parko is my role model and i look up to him.Parko has skill and should win because he has style and power. i think he is sick!!!!!
Wheather Parko is pulling into 12 foot Pipe on his flawless backhand or destroying Bells, no one can deny Parko his DESTINY!
Immutable, poised, unwavering and he Drinks the wild water
Because parko deserves one!
Parko should win a title not simply because he surfs better than almost anyone else in the world, but because he has fun doing it. Isn’t that what surfing’s really about?
Why? Because he’s da baddest, roughest toughest mudda, dat don’t take no crap from no one’ dats why
because of his passion, he surfs as if it was his last wave.
Parko deserves it, he has done its best in every competition giving more than everyone, he kills it by having fun and that what is all about. Humility.
Quite simply the hardest working guy on the tour!
Parko should win a world title for three reasons. First, he loves to surf. Second, he works his tail off. Third, the guy absolutely rips!
It’s not a matter of why he will win, It’s when he will win, and that my friends, will be this year at Pipe! Start passing out the arm floaties!
Parko’s a great surfer. His surfing style is unsurpassed, his humble attitude out of the water makes him a compete athelete and a true ambassador to the sport of surfing
because he will do it on boardshorts!
if it wasn’t for andy (RIP) and kelly or even injury he would have 4 already. he deserves it . hes a humble guy and his still has a power game
Utterly sublime and so there..

Taj is busy having fun, Medina and Florence have their whole careers ahead of them and the Earth would spin backwards if Kelly got 12.
Parko is ready. He has all the weapons required to win: power, consistency, lethality, style, family and love.
Because he’s always 2nd place!!!
because he’s been 2nd too many times!!!
