Inspirational | Owen Wright & Matt Wilkinson

15 months ago, Owen Wright suffered a severe brain injury at Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu. It had the potential to not only end his career, but his life. And at the start of the year, no one knew what was coming.

But over the past week, that giant unknown has disappeared. Owen Wright surfed his first heat back, and won. Then he surfed through the entire event, all the way to the final heat, where he met his best mate and teammate, the defending champion of the Quiksilver Pro, Matt Wilkinson.
