A ten point ride in the dying seconds seals the win for Parko. &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Displaying the kind of smooth, powerful surfing that makes him a contender in any event, Joel Parkinson defeated one of his best friends\\u2014and fiercest rival\\u2014in the 50th running of the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. The final was a battle of the titans as the two \\u201cCoolie Kids\\u201d went at it in lumpy eight-foot surf. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Parko kicked off the all-Aussie affair moments after the heat began and never looked back after nailing an 8.53 on his opening ride.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=\\\"http:\\/\\/player.vimeo.com\\/video\\/22820700\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\\/iframe&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;em&gt;Above: Final day highlights from the 2011 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Fanning looked a bit out of sorts as he waited and waited while Parko racked up score after score culminating in a perfect ten-point ride as the heat finished. It was vintage Parko as he made the big, lumpy surf look too easy. \\u201cMick was the form surfer of the event. Lucky for me he fell out of rhythm,\\u201d said Parko after winning the longest running surf contest in the world.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;In a move that epitomized the brotherhood these guys have, Fanning carried Parko up the beach after the win. \\u201cI tried to carry him all the way up the beach but buckled under his weight,\\u201d laughed Fanning afterward. \\u201cHe\\u2019s bigger than he used to be. I think he\\u2019s been working out a lot.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In other news, Rip Curl announced that the 2011 Rip Curl Search World Tour contest will be held &amp;#8220;somewhere in San Francisco&amp;#8221; between Nov. 1-11. And they think Bells Beach is cold and big&amp;#8230; more to follow on this breaking story.  &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;ASP WORLD TITLE RATINGS (After Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach):&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n1.

Today\\u2019s Final ran in front of a capacity crowd at Bells Beach, maxing out as early as 11am with cars lined back to the center of Torquay, and the elite ASP Top 34 delivered in sensational fashion.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Leaving little to chance in the highly-anticipated Final, Parkinson opened up with an 8.53 on the first ride of the heat and drove the nail into the coffin with a Perfect 10.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cTo me, Mick (Fanning) has been the form surfer of the event and I was never going to take him lightly,\\u201d Parkinson said. \\u201cI think we both had the same game plan of getting the first good one that came through and putting the momentum behind us. We scrapped for that first wave and I got the nod. Even though it was a mid-8, I knew I needed a lot more to hold him off so I just kept the pressure on from there.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Today\\u2019s victory marks the third Bells title for the Gold Coaster and his 10th elite tour win overall. \\u201cIt\\u2019s incredible,\\u201d Parkinson said. \\u201cIt\\u2019s not so much the fact that I\\u2019ve won the event, but more so that it\\u2019s the 50th anniversary. It feels that much more special. We\\u2019ve had such good waves too. I can\\u2019t remember the last time that Bells had such good waves. I\\u2019m so excited. I can\\u2019t believe this.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Parkinson, who\\u2019s last two ASP World Title campaigns have been marred by injuries, is adamant that he is 100% healthy this season and surfing better than ever.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI definitely feel like I\\u2019m back,\\u201d Parkinson said. \\u201cI feel like I\\u2019m surfing better than I was back in \\u201909 before I hurt my ankle. I\\u2019m feeling fit, I have some really good boards under my feet and I\\u2019m excited for the rest of the year.\\u201d Parkinson vaults from 9th to 2nd on the ASP World Title Rankings.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Fanning, who last rung the bell as a wildcard in 2001, was the in-form surfer of the event, consistently notching the highest single-wave scores and heat totals from Round 1 onwards. However, the lightning-fast natural-footer was unable to overtake his Gold Coast sparring partner in the Final.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a tough Final,&amp;#8221; Fanning said. &amp;#8220;For some reason overtime we have a heat he gets in sync real early. I tried to fight back but it was too little too late. Surfing against your mate is just like surfing against anyone else you&amp;#8217;ve just got to go out and think about yourself and catching waves and getting scores. To have a mate beat me makes it a bit easier to swallow, but I&amp;#8217;m still fired up for the rest of the year.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Fanning moves from 13th to 6th on the ASP World Title Rankings.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Jordy Smith (ZAF), 24, 2010 ASP World Runner-Up, cruised through to the Semifinals of the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach despite admittedly feeling out of rhythm throughout the event.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It was a nice last wave, but it was a pity I didn&amp;#8217;t get any before that,&amp;#8221; Smith said. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve felt off all week so to get a 3rd is pretty good. I&amp;#8217;ve got two 3rds now, which is kind of frustrating because you want to make the Final, but that&amp;#8217;s how it goes sometimes. 3rd is better than 5th.\\u201d Smith further cements his position at ASP World No. 3.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Adriano de Souza (BRA), 24, flew the South American flag high through the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, scalping a number of high-profile competitors before falling to Parkinson in the Semifinal.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I found my rhythm in the heat against Kelly (Slater),&amp;#8221; De Souza said. &amp;#8220;But against Joel (Parkinson) I couldn&amp;#8217;t find any waves. I&amp;#8217;m so frustrated because I wanted to ring the Bell, but I&amp;#8217;m really happy with my result. Kelly is my hero, 10 x ASP World Champ, he just didn&amp;#8217;t get any waves, then it happened to me in the next round. It happens to everyone. Next up is my home event in Brazil, I hope Brazil is proud of me and Jadson (Andre) for doing well at this event.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;De Souza goes from 9th to 4th on the ASP World Title Rankings.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Kelly Slater (USA), 39, reigning 10-time ASP World Champion and current ASP World No. 1, suffered a surprise elimination at the hands of De Souza in this morning\\u2019s Quarterfinal clash. The young Brazilian left little room for the Champ to respond and an admittedly out-of-rhythm Slater saw his Bells Beach title defense cut abruptly short.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cIt&amp;#8217;s not my day, not my week and that happens,\\u201d Slater said. \\u201cFor some reason you don&amp;#8217;t make the right choices and you&amp;#8217;re not in sync with it, I&amp;#8217;m definitely not in the zone this week at all. Every heat of mine has had slow surf and then when there were, waves I was on the wrong ones. It&amp;#8217;s the way it goes, you win some you lose some.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Slater\\u2019s Equal 5th at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach sees the American holding the lead in the race for the 2011 ASP World Title heading into the next stop in Brazil.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cWe&amp;#8217;re two events in and I&amp;#8217;ve got a 1st and a 5th so I&amp;#8217;m averaging about a 3rd, you want to be there and higher,\\u201d Slater said. \\u201cThese kind of waves favor the best guys, the guys you&amp;#8217;re going to expect to be at the top at the end of the year and all those guys are still in the event. A 5th isn&amp;#8217;t that bad a result, but when all the guys who you expect to be in the world title hunt finish higher than you it feels like a 17th.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Highlights from the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by FORD will be available via www.live.ripcurl.com.
