Parko injures leg in Bali

A regulation surf during a training session in Bali almost threw a crowbar in the spokes of Joel Parkinson’s world title race.

Reports emerged from Bali yesterday that Parko suffered an injury while attempting an air reverse at the righthand reef break of Canggu in Bali.

While he successfully made and rode out of the move, Parko's foot was seen to slip and he recoiled in pain, returning to the beach. He was helped from the water by fellow surfers before being assessed on the beach by friends.

However, he was later seen hobbling up the beach. Soon after Stab reported the incident, Parko's management was on the phone to assure us his injury was not serious, and he would be fine by Trestles.

The injury was a strain in his calf or Achilles tendon, and would heal soon. Just as well. Ankle injuries can often take months to fix, which would have given CJ Hobgood, 1400 points behind Parko in the ratings, a sniff at the title, and made the remainder of the World Tour a whole lot more interesting. - Jed Smith

I have read your mag a couple of times and it was quite funny, not as good as ASL though. BUT your online version of your magazine really does suck. (I have nothing against all the features really and the surfers you feature in them, because to be quite honest all the modern collective guys rip and thats that, leave the rest of the details at the door)

It has come to the point where the journo's writing is more important than what the feature is actually about, but who really cares? I recall reading some bitch fight a few weeks ago between some other surf journo and 'jed' (?), what the hell was all that about? Who cares. Go surfing or something, or whatever you do, i dont know. Oh yeh thats right, if there is no news you have to make it up to satisfy the editor.....oh to be a journalist. I will not be looking at this website again, surfline.com is so much better with great videos and pretty pictures.

Joel,

The Chips offer still stands if you want just a little more insurance. No need to deal with Taj though. He's already folded.

Joel,

The Chips is saddened to hear this news but has a proposition. The Chips is willing to offer reduced rates to you to go Tonya Harding on the rest of the top 10. You specify the injury and The Chips takes care of the rest. The world title will be going back to Oz one way or another. You know where to find me.
