Joel Parkinson Title Quotations

Ive been on the tour for 12 years, and the big dream has always been to get a world title.

Losing one grounds you a bit. I learned a lot after losing the title in 2009, learned that I was probably too intense that year, and when I didn't win, I just felt horrible.

It's the way surfing is - you grow up surfing together, and then you're thrown into a heat at Pipe or a world title bout against one another.
