According to Parko, this was meant to be the Championship Tour winning movie they had waiting in the wings ready to spit the minute he won the gong, but, as you'll most likely now be aware, he fell in the dying seconds of his heat, going over the falls on what was undoubtedly the most important wave of his life, allowing his bezzy mate to hoist the world title trophy in the process. Poor fella. He'd given it his all and failed at the final hurdle, but still had the good grace to carry Mick over the sand at the end. A good egg indeed.
I was rooting for him in the end, and not simply because he answered my question on his blog, no, it was his style and sportsmanship that won me over – BUT, I still want to see Slater get his 10th next year.
