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.







It is simple why Parko should win the world title, he has the best and smoothest style, and surfing is all about style.
because his turns in the wave looks like silky smooth…zohan! and he is one of the best classic surfer in the whole world!
because life is better when you surf………….and getting a world title !
Why should Joel win ???
Because that injury a few years back robbed him of a sure thing. Because he smooth and polished but a mad rippa. Because I need the Da Kine package.
because if Obama can win the presidency, Parko should win a world title… and do it for AI
why…? come on he’s one of the best surfers ever and he was fighting for get the title maybe the judges get jealous of his perfect surf. Now is the parko time…cheers
Parko seems to always be so close to a title lately. He completely rips and kills it in competition. I think he deserves this years world title more than ever!
Because its about fucking time!
Dane should win.
No one “deserves” to win. You gotta make it happen. He worked hard.
His totally bitchin smoooooth style!!!!
Because he consistently is one of the top rated surfers in the world, with great style, and a strong competitive nature
Parko is as smooth as having sex in silk sheets.
Parko should win a world title because he is smooth, powerful, dominant, and he rips! He should’ve won one years ago
Parko should win because surfing needs epic rivalries and he needs a redemption against Mick, at Pipe, for the title!
The after party would be a hell of a lot more fun than kelly’s
Parko should win a world title so he doesn’t have to depend on his creative writing skills to get free gear like the rest of us losers.
Because, as Lewis Samuels said, watching Mick Fanning surf is like watching an aerobics video. And listening to Kanga salivate over Mick’s surfing is nauseating.
I met parko a few years back when I worked at billabong time square..and his personality matches his surfing…super sweet!!
because he is an inspiration to surfers everywhere, his attitude, and skills
Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.
By winning Parko will stoke the fire under surfing, and show it’s anyone’s wave to claim
Because I’ve been waiting for him to win for sooo loong now! And all I hear is “next year, next year…”
because he has so much steez… does anything else need to be said?
Parko should win because he’s Parko. Enough said.
Because he can get a chick pregnant with a simple wink of an eye
Isnt the real question, “Will Parko win a World Title?”
Of course!!! And deservingly, he will!
Coming bitterly close will definitely only make finally winning the title incredibly sweeter.
YEWWW!
I heard Parko caught the bouquet at a wedding last week. Just sayin.
Parko is a primo-dude-surfer-style-and wil win TRIPLE CROWN and a world title.DaKine free stuff Mean az!!
His surfing says it all!!!
simon says, thats why
because it would be mental to see a rematch between mick and parko at pipe for the title
Cause he’s the smoothest mofo on the planet! My Mrs loves him which lets me watch more surfin. Love your work Parko!
Parko has everything it takes. All the moves, the style, the drive, and the experience. In a surf world dominated by airs his style and flow still rules.
Why? he rips. Should? He will when he puts it all together in one season. He? He’s Parko! Win? Cause we know he can! World? Isn’t the brother loved the world over? Title? Because Parko Wins the World Title! is a good title!
he should NOT win a world title! he had his chance and now his window is shut! by by, dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
Parko’s surfing is technically perfect, powerful and silky smooth, it is only the waves at asp events that have failed him….
Parko should win a world title because his illustrious career deserves a world title. Beyond Slater and Fanning, who both share multiple titles, Parko’s the ever constant – consistent tour competitor!
He needs the cash for a sex change operation which will fulfill his dream of being in a vaudeville act under the name Joely P Sprinkles and live happily ever after.
Because parkos chief export is shredding. He was once quoted saying; “There are few problems in this world that cannot be solved by a swift roundhouse to the face of a wave.”
He’s the man, fluid as mike. Aka surfings mj! he don’t play parko! parko!!!
Because everyone loves the humble family man coming out on top. Look at the response to KP’s pipe win. Everyone wants to see Parko win it…
You know how Aussies delicately sidestep awkward conversations, right? NOT! He will grow old with Mick. He HAS to win 2 world titles or forever be nagged by his mates.
we all seen over the years Parko gotten so close to winning a world title, especially in 2009. Thats why!
Because being that good & watching one of your best friends win two titles has to eat away at your soul!
Parko world champion
His technique and style unmatched
Haters gonna hate
Joel will win because cream rises to the top, and Parko cuts through waves like they’re Parkay butter.
Parko should win a world title because regardless of whether or not he does he will come out smiling in the long run. His attitude towards surfing is unshakable. Oh and his style is straight butter!
Because stylish, sharp and smooth as he is, he will never get any world figure skating title !
Parko deserves a Title because he makes the difficult look easy. You wouldn’t discount the Beatles, the top-selling artist of all time, for being too smooth. So why deny Parko?
Because every dog has it’s day when it’s a dogs life!
