"#itson this year I have decided to return to surf the full year on the @wsl with the class of 2017 looking so amazing would have been a hard one to sit out on! Let the show begin going to be an incredible year! I personally want to thank the @wsl for allowing me to take some time away and my sponsors for supporting me all the way."
