Surfers are on alert as an eight-metre humpback washes onto rocks near Scarborough.
Is surfing just another sport? Have we been deluding ourselves?
Rare showing of 2018 film, plus live music and conversation.
The turnout exceeded all expectations for Merc's paddle out.
Less flexible, more expensive, yet with a valid claim against shark attack.

Surfs better than me with another board under his arm…..
Right, ha!
Insane surfing even with a board under Arm
Why wasn't he wearing a leggy?
I was asking the same question! Like the hip mal riders at The Pass not using them!! Got to use them in crowds!!
Leg rope on the drop in board?
Fark off Uncle Joel you Old has been...Classic Well Surfed Mitty .
This is the most Gold Coast thing I've ever seen.
Even if it’s a setup it’s pretty classic.
love it
There's even a dolphin nearby towards the end.
Unc got the sick pit.
Set up? Whatever, its better than punching out his fins.
And how are the drop-in numpties on mals down the end....FFS! Shoulder hoppers 101.
Peak Gold Coast. Pretty awesome though.
Full Gold Coast Surf Bingo.
1/ Surfer riding crowded point break without leg rope.
2/ Brutal drop in.
3/ Hi Fi ripping
4/ Leg burning ride
5/ Right hand barrel
6/ Clueless shoulder hoppers
7/ Leaping dolphins
Yes!!!
That's gold! PS Is that Fanning getting a bird's-eye view at 20 sec?
Set up or not, that's a good laugh and an all time get away.
Even more impressive if there was only one take.
Two things missing from this clip...
1. What happened to Parko Snr. after the hijacking, and
2. Mitch catching up to dolphin drop-in, grabbing it and surfing all the way to Greenmount with it under his left arm, with his board still tucked under the right.
Even I have to admit, that was pretty cool.
Best surfing clip I have seen in a long while. A complete smorgasbord. Is Joel and Mitch related?
Yep, cousins.
Where was Daryl ????
(does Joel usually surf Snapper without a leggie)
It was a set up - but still highly entertaining.
doesnt look set up to me, was something said?
Clearly a set up but I liked the way he surfed it right through to the end section in Greenmount. Make Joel walk a bit further to retrieve his stick.
Joel Porkington is sporting a nice set of Love Handles these days so a wee more exercise would do him good.
Do you reckon he bothered walking down to Kirra to get it when he has another 200 boards at home and a shaper on call to deliver free boards?
Mitch carried them both back to a round of applause from the boys.
why is it clearly a set up?
one of the many reasons a leggy is good
great wave
He's got two arms, why didn't he pick the dolphin up as well?
Parko riding a twinnie and without a legrope, must be some sort of soul vibe he was going for. Mitch put a quick end to that vibe though :)
whats now globally known as an insta moment and unless Parko is on acid wonder how many times hes forgotten to tie the leash on
Straight out of episode 2 of Gonad Man! “Stranger Danger “Dolphins check,
Big Wave drop in check, Tube ride with board swap over check all that was missing was Frank the Gorilla!
Looking forward to the next episode…
Sorry to disappoint all the conspiracy theorists, it wasn't a set up. I was there the whole session, Joel was swimming most of the time pushing a little fella onto a couple of inside runners, and gabbed the board with no leggie to snag a couple of waves. Mitch was absolutely shredding, best on ground by a mile, the red sled seems to go exactly where he wants it. By the way, he kept going for another 100m AFTER the vid stopped too....funny shit and a long walk back
Yeah no idea where the "set up" bs came from. I've seen parko surf dbah at decent size multiple times without a leggie to put that theory to bed. Yet to see him lose his board, swam to it once after he kicked out as it slipped out of his hands
Lucky Joel didn't have a leggie on otherwise he would have been dragged by Mitch 200m down the bank!
... and dangled in front of the dolphin.
Fun times. Great clip.
Thanks Parko, now every wannabe with a twinny will think they’re cool like you if they ride with no leggy.
Lol - the Groove Girls on their Chinese pop-out mals are more of a problem IMHO
That is classic! Well surfed!!! Probably never been done before, surely? Mitch, I really hope you dropped off your cousins board at Greenmount! This is akin to something MP did to brother Tommy back in the day, except he didn't surf with his board
