Surfing’s newly crowned king will be returning to Coolangatta today.
The 31 year old will arrive by helicopter to Gold Coast Airport’s T2 terminal at about 5pm, straight from Brisbane Airport.
Parkinson will greet close family, address the crowd, then hold a press conference where he will be photographed with the ASP trophy, after winning the Billabong Pipe Masters on the North Shore of Hawaii over the weekend and beating legendary Kelly Slater for the world title.
Head down and welcome home our new champ.
