Comeback Of The Year: Ricky Whitlock
After suffering a devastating and literal backbreaking wipeout at Pipeline while warming up for the Volcom Pipe Pro, Ricky was told he may never surf again and was very close to being paralyzed. Ricky, ever the warrior, fought hard, rehabbed, trained, battled, and after a “miraculously” short time, made it back to his beloved surfboard, and in under a year since his bad break, was charging Puerto, Jaws, and yes, even Pipeline. Get inspired by Ricky’s comeback in the documentary about his journey from broken to better, titled Ricky Whitlock: L-1, T-12.
