The current World No. 4 scored two perfect 10s to become the only surfer to earn a perfect 20 out of 20 heat total at Pipeline. Parkinson eliminated Vans Triple Crown front-runner Dusty Payne (HAW) in the process.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI never thought I would get two perfect 10s,\\u201d Parkinson said. \\u201cIt\\u2019s not something you hear about every day, so I\\u2019d never really thought about doing it. I definitely claimed it like I had won an event for a second, but then I had to settle down and tell myself, \\u2019All you did was make a heat!\\u2019 The next heat I paddle out for, I\\u2019ll have to remember that.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;object classid=\\\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\\\" width=\\\"468\\\" height=\\\"387\\\" codebase=\\\"http:\\/\\/download.macromedia.com\\/pub\\/shockwave\\/cabs\\/flash\\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\\\"&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"quality\\\" value=\\\"high\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"bgcolor\\\" value=\\\"#869ca7\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowScriptAccess\\\" value=\\\"sameDomain\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"allowFullScreen\\\" value=\\\"true\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;param name=\\\"src\\\" value=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.wetsand.com\\/flashplayer\\/FlashPlayer.swf?v=http:\\/\\/www.wetsand.com\\/media\\/wetsands\\/0\\/pub\\/u\\/5\\/8\\/\\/58\\/7\\/5\\/7\\/2\\/u-46cd7aa8-11e10cfaac9--7f7f.flv&amp;amp;eb=1&amp;amp;ap=0&amp;amp;h=www.wetsand.com\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;embed type=\\\"application\\/x-shockwave-flash\\\" width=\\\"468\\\" height=\\\"387\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.wetsand.com\\/flashplayer\\/FlashPlayer.swf?v=http:\\/\\/www.wetsand.com\\/media\\/wetsands\\/0\\/pub\\/u\\/5\\/8\\/\\/58\\/7\\/5\\/7\\/2\\/u-46cd7aa8-11e10cfaac9--7f7f.flv&amp;amp;eb=1&amp;amp;ap=0&amp;amp;h=www.wetsand.com\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"true\\\" allowscriptaccess=\\\"sameDomain\\\" bgcolor=\\\"#869ca7\\\" quality=\\\"high\\\"&gt;&lt;\\/embed&gt;&lt;\\/object&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2 Highlights (including Parko&amp;#8217;s perfect 20 heat)&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA) is the only other surfer to score a perfect 20 out of 20. He did so in a 2005 final at Teahupoo, Tahiti to win the contest.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Kelly did it in unreal fashion, mine was a just in a third round heat, but it\\u2019s at Pipe and it\\u2019s definitely something that when I grow old, I\\u2019ll think, \\u2018I did something in my career my name\\u2019s next to Kelly\\u2019s on that one,\\u2019&amp;#8221; Parkinson said.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Parkinson finished fifth in Halewia and Sunset \\u2013 the first two legs of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing \\u2013 and with Nos. 1 and 2 Payne and C.J. Hobgood (USA) losing today, has a good chance to take it out.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;That was a big heat for the Triple Crown for sure,\\u201d Parkinson said. \\u201cI have to start thinking more about the Triple Crown now. I have to forget about those 10s and start surfing heats from now on and not get too ahead of myself.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Slater surfed his first heat since clinching ASP World Title No. 9 today and was not surprised by Parkinson\\u2019s performance earlier in the day.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI\\u2019d expect Parko to be the guy to do that.\\u201d Slater said. \\u201cHe is such a magnet and not every guy can get in sync like Parko does he gets on a roll and it gets scary. He will probably go on to win the Triple Crown judging from the heat he had today.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Slater has won the Pipeline Masters a record five times, but is taking a very laid back approach to the event in 2008. He has already won five events of the nine he has competed in this season.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cA win at Pipe would be great, but to be honest with you, it doesn\\u2019t really matter at this point,\\u201d Slater said. \\u201cNot that Pipe doesn\\u2019t matter, but I\\u2019m just enjoying not having the constant contest stress. If I win it is definitely a huge bonus, but in a way, I\\u2019d like to see somebody else win \\u2013 someone who hasn\\u2019t won it before. I\\u2019ve got a couple, Andy\\u2019s got a couple, Bede won one last year. Maybe it\\u2019s Parko\\u2019s year or maybe Brucey will pull off another win here to finish his year off.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1000077114 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'&gt;&lt;figure class='gallery-item'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;div class='gallery-icon landscape'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a href='http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/surf\\/joel-parkinson-scores-perfect-20-during-day-3-of-the-billabong-pipeline-masters\\/attachment\\/billabong-pipeline-masters-2-2-2\\/'&gt;&lt;img width=\\\"150\\\" height=\\\"100\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.grindtv.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2008\\/12\\/parkinson_j8154pipe08rowland_l.jpg\\\" class=\\\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\\\" alt=\\\"Billabong Pipeline Masters\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;\\n\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;\\n\\n&lt;p&gt;Bruce Irons (HAW) won\\u2019t win the Pipeline Masters this year. He lost a very close heat to Tom Whitaker (AUS) this afternoon. Irons has requalified for the 2009 ASP World Tour, but has unofficially said he will retire from full-time competition.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Defending Pipeline Masters and Vans Triple Crown Champion Bede Durbidge (AUS) is into Round 4 after eliminating wildcard Shane Dorian (HAW) today. The heat was Durbidge\\u2019s first of the event having been seeded directly into Round 3.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To beat Shane was a feat in itself so it\\u2019s great to start off with a hard heat and get through that,\\u201d Durbidge said. \\u201cHopefully I can get the momentum going and just keep going.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;ASP World No. 3 Taj Burrow (AUS) lost today which assures Durbidge a career-best ASP World No. 2 rating behind Slater. Interestingly, if Parkinson wins the event and Durbidge loses in the next round, they would both finish the year with 6780 points.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I looked at the ratings today and I think Taj was the only one who could beat me,\\u201d Durbidge said. \\u201cIf Joel wins then we\\u2019re tied so hopefully I can just keep going and I won\\u2019t have to worry about it. It would be good to win the Triple Crown again as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Adrian Buchan (AUS) was another surfer who had a red-hot heat today. Buchan negotiated a tight battle to beat Danny Wills (AUS) 18.26 to 17.94. Wills has unofficially retired from ASP World Tour competition making the heat his last as a full-time member of the Top 45. Wills competed for 12 years and finished World No. 3 in 1998.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Despite losing to Shane Dorian (HAW) in Round 2, Dane Reynolds (USA) will round out the year the highest rated rookie in 2008, making him a likely candidate for ASP World Tour Rookie of the Year. Reynolds had to sit out two events this year because of sickness and injury, but will still finish in the top half of the ratings.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cIt was kind of anticlimactic year there at the end which was kind of a bummer, but overall it was a lot of fun,\\u201d Reynolds said. \\u201cIt\\u2019s been good, and being out of the last event injured, I had a chance to reflect and get excited about next year. I\\u2019m pretty pumped.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Reynolds came into the year part of a highly publicized duo alongside Jordy Smith (ZAF) and there was a lot of speculation about who would end up rookie of the year.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cPeople were hitting me up about that all year and I was like, \\u2018C\\u2019mon, cool it,\\u2019\\u201d Reynolds said. \\u201cBut if I do get it, it would be really cool, you only get one chance at that.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;ASP World Tour surfers not making the cut for the 2009 tour after losing today include Wills, Dean Morrison (AUS), who lost to four-time Pipeline Champion Andy Irons (HAW) in the last heat of the day, Pancho Sullivan (HAW) and Ben Dunn (AUS).&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Sullivan, like Wills has said that he will not try to requalify next year and is retiring from full-time competition. Sullivan surfed on tour for three years qualifying in 2005 at age 32 and becoming the oldest rookie in ASP history. Morrison will apply for a wildcard due to injuries which forced him competing much of the year \\u2013 he has a strong case.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Only one more day of competition is needed to wrap up the event and organizers predict that bad weather will hinder running tomorrow but that Friday could see better conditions and swell. An official call will be made tomorrow at 7 a.m.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Check &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.aspworldtour.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;aspworldtour.com&lt;\\/a&gt; and &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.triplecrownofsurfing.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;triplecrownofsurfing.com&lt;\\/a&gt; for updates.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;For full coverage of Round 1 and 2 head here: &lt;a href=\\\"\\/2008\\/12\\/10\\/round-1-of-billabong-pipeline-masters-complete-full-video-highlights\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Billabong Pipe Masters Round 1 and 2&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billabong Pipeline Masters Round 2 Results:&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nHeat 9: &lt;\\/strong&gt;Kieren Perrow (AUS) 17.50 def.
