Pro surfer interviews around contests are notoriously bland, cliched affairs. You know the drill - just taking it one heat at a time, got some really good boards, everyone's a threat,not getting ahead of myself, blah blah. This one from Parko at Chopes is actually interesting and might provide a lesson for surfers and interviewers alike. He is relaxed, he looks like he actually likes the person doing the interview, he talks naturally and off the cuff and even ... gasp ... swears. Good shit. Although he does look to me like he is adjusting to some fresh, ah, dental work. What a smile.
