Coolangatta surfer Joel Parkinson won his Round 5 heat yesterday in the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro at The Box in Western Australia, advancing into the quarterfinals ahead of Filipe Toledo from Brazil.
Parkinson netted the highest heat score of the round, a 16.60 (out of 20.00) for a pair of excellent eight-point rides to eliminate Toledo from this year’s competition.
