“I’m so stoked to be back here in the beautiful place,” said Shane Dorian after backing up last year's twin fin win with another. “Surfing with all these guys is so sick, I’m just having a blast. That board had not felt good in any surf’s until my first heat and then it all just started to click, which was lucky. Hopefully I can make the final in the thruster division and have a shot at getting back here.”
