KERAMAS, Bali/Indonesia (Thursday, June 27, 2013) – Joel Parkinson (AUS), 32, reigning ASP World Champion, has won the inagural Oakley Pro Bali over Michel Bourez (PYF), 27, via an impressive come-from-behind effort in four-to-six foot (2 metre) waves at the iconic Balanese righthander of Keramas.
Parkinson was quick to adapt on the changing conditions on the final day of action, besting fellow countrymen Taj Burrow (AUS), 35, and Josh Kerr (AUS), 29, en route to the Final before topping Bourez for the win. The Oakley Pro Bali marks Parkinson’s first ASP WCT victory of the season, vaulting the stylish Australian from x to x on the rankings and well within striking distance of a repeat ASP World Title.
