As far as triumphant returns go, chalk this one up there with Odysseus. Clay Marzo — who was an unfortunate part of the Quiksilver “massacre” last year — has since been hiding out along the back roads of Western Australia, trunking it and quietly doing some of the best surfing in the world. Trademark whips and airs, and packing massive, lonely and very logo-less barrels — basically surfing like one of the world’s best goofy foots, all by himself.

It’s with a lot of excitement that we deliver to you today the return of one of surfing’s enduring (and very hungry) personalities. We missed you, Clay.

*Massive thanks to Tom Jennings for training his camera on Clay the past few months. That worked out nicely. Thanks legend.
