One Touch is a documentary that crosses the divide between surfing and paddling and explores the cultural connection that brings them together each year in Hawaii. Find out more about 'One Touch' and the Molokai crossing here.

Parko and Berg training at Snapper Rocks, QLD

[JP] It’s about as much fun as you can have. When it gets too perfect it actually makes it hard to surf a heat… your mind drifts off and you forget you’re there to do a job. You go into La La Land.

[WB] Being Joel’s trainer I got to see the hype first hand, it is honestly some of the biggest waves I have seen first hand in my life and some of the best surfing. Joel was definitely a stand out and on the massive day when big wave surfers flew in from around the world Joel was out there showing everyone what he is made of. He is truly an amazing surfer in all conditions.

[JP] I flew home from the Fiji contest and four days later flew straight back with the family for another two weeks! It’s a pretty long break, but I’ll be in full training for the Molokai to Oahu race, so I’m putting it to good use.

[WB] My off season from the The Nutri-Grain Ironman series is April til October. We start training in June but I usually travel with the surfers I train, and then try and get a little family holiday in with my wife and daughter.

Parko training for the Molokai to Oahu race this year

[JP] Really important, but I’m not dwelling on it. I felt my surfing in Fiji was really good so I’m probably a little disappointed I didn’t finish higher, but I’m definitely not disappointed with the way I surfed, and my consistency has been there this year so I’m hopeful of a good result in Tahiti. As long as I’m getting waves and having fun the results tend to take care of themselves.

[DB] I basically got over competing full time in my teens. The bad waves that competitions with no waiting periods are always held in gets frustrating, especially when you're 20+kg heavier than most of the competitors, I just struggle to get moving in the smaller stuff compared to most guys. Although Rip Curl gave me a wildcard into their San Francisco WCT event last year and that was an awesome experience. Competing against Kelly Slater is something I'll never forget.

[DB] Winter is a great time of year for waves in Australia so I try and spend a lot of time here. It's also prime time for good surf in other places I love like Indonesia and Mexico so I try and get there as well.

[WB] Before I race in the Nutri-Grain Ironman Series I listen to a bit of Hilltop Hoods mostly but mix it up a bit, anything that gets you feeling good.

[DB] The Black Keys

[JP] Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

[WB] Best dinner parties are always the ones with a few beers and best mates so I would invite my three best mates.

[DB] Rodger Federer, Manny Pacquiao, Will Ferrell.

[JP] MP, the Dalai Lama, and King Wally.
