The ASP World Tour rookie sits down with Surfer Magazine to talk about his return to competition after last year's season ending injury — one that nearly overshadowed the most successful year of his career (2nd to Slater at the US Open, star of two of the year's biggest surf films and 2011 World Tour qualifier).
