Yesterday, Joel Parkinson solidified his spot on the Billabong team for the long haul, again. Having been a Billabong team rider since he was a promising 11-year-old on the Gold Coast of Australia, he’s now 32 and a world champ. His first victory on the ASP World Tour came as a 19-year-old wildcard at Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. Parko has been a major force since the turn of the century solidifying his role among the world’s surfing elite. We look forward to watching that effortless style for years to come.
Joel Parkinson Remains on Team Billabong for Foreseeable Future
