Owen Wright made a triumphant return to Championship Tour form Thursday at the Quiksilver Pro. The Australian surfer sat out the entire 2016 season due to a career-threatening traumatic brain injury he suffered at Pipeline in 2015. It was an emotional win for the big Aussie, made all the more impactful due to a recent addition to the Wright brood. He talked about it with WSL host Kaipo Guerrero.
