It's been nearly a year since Australian CT veteran Bede Durbidge broke his pelvis at Pipeline. The brutal injury sidelined him for the entire season. While he was recovering, however, he stayed busy behind the scenes, playing a pivotal coaching role during John John Florence's world title run. But on Tuesday at the Hawaiian Pro Durbidge finally got himself back in the competition jersey. Though his recovery is far from complete, he's thrilled to be back in the mix. He talked about his long-awaited comeback with Kaipo Guerrero.
