VISITING HOUR
Posted in Freestyling,PhotosAll stitched up, now just dealing with the boredom of a couple of days in hospital. These two showed up this morning which took my mind off my foot for a while and made me laugh.
Just wanna say thanks to all the messages of support I’ve been getting. It’s made the whole thing a lot less painful. Cheers, guys.

July 10, 2010 at 7:20 amHey Parko!
That was a mean injury but don’t let this take you down buddy… Someone told me once that everything happens for a reason. This sucks but you gotta take your time and take care of that foot.
You’ll be back soon and stronger than ever. We all know how much effort you put last year and this year and how much you deserve that title. Its gonna be yours when its time.
Cheers

I had the same fin cut injury 2004, and would never want anyone to
have to go through that. Our Prayers are with you and your family.

July 13, 2010 at 11:09 amhey parko, ouch!
You’ve got some really good fins, but it’s the wave you have to cut, not you.
Sincerely, I hope you will be soon on the waves (tahiti?) to be the world champ.
I think I’m not the only one in France who loves your surf and want you to be crown.
Rest and family, the best medicine

July 22, 2010 at 11:23 pmHello from L.A., CA Parko. Your friendship with A.I. is just like my friendship with my buddy Nikolai and it is just aspiring to witness so I’m glad he is on tour with you again this year. Heal quickly, enjoy your wife and kids because all your fans miss you on the live web cast and in this last J-bay event.
A friend in another time and space,
