It's mid winter here in Europe and it's cold in the surf.  All we want is to escape to a new surf holiday.  However, even if you're not off to surf Fuerteventura in some warmer waves, here's a little something to cheer you up...
 
Our clip for February is the amazing Joel Parkinson from down under.  This Aussie knows a think or two about inspiration and pushing your limits.  He only just missed winning a world title back in 2009 to his best friend Mick Fanning, and then finished runner up last year to the legendary Kelly Slater.  So the big question is how will he do in 2012.  Watch out for him at the first event of the season: the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast running from 25th February to 7th March.
