With the Rio Pro waiting period kicking off this week, Parko checks in to share a few thoughts on how he’s feeling and promote his new surf training mobile application, explaining the kind of fitness training and exercises he’s been working on in preparation for Brazil’s punchy beachies. Last year, Rio proved a poor result with an early Round 3 exit but Parko reckons he’s feeling less pressure to perform this year and the better for it. “Instead of being hunted like I was last year as World Champ I’m back hunting again and it feels good.”
