Joel Parkinson and Kai Otton are good friends. They travel together, stay together, and surf together. And of course, they also compete against each other on surfing’s biggest stage–which would be strange, especially when they’re both very competitive people. During a webcast conversation, Parko and Kai shook hands on a bet that would have been incredible, had it actually came to fruition. With the two facing off in their round three heat, the winner would have to chair the loser up the beach… but when Parko took the win, the bet looked to be off. Disappointing to say the least.
