Damian King and his return to the waves
Australia鈥檚 three-time world bodyboard champion Damian King is returning to the waves more than a decade after retiring from the sport.
King won back-to-back world titles in 2003 and 2004 before and the World Tour in 2011. He moved into a career in real estate after retiring in 2013, but he's back in Hawaii competing against some of the world鈥檚 best.
He鈥檚 even brought with him the bodyboard he rode to victory more than 20 years ago and he tells Sportshour鈥檚 Shabnam Younus-Jewell about why he made the decision to comeback.
