"[I] definitely wanna get back out at that place," Webre-Hayes told a classroom full of students when he returned to schoolhouse on Midweek, according toGood Morning time America. He told the class he hopes to get back to surfing, "really, really soon."

As a result, Webre-Hayes had over five hours of surgery, and got 1,000 stitches to repair his torn upper dorsum, shoulder, torso and confront.
"When I was in the water, I was like, 'This is probably a large fish,'" Webre-Hayes said. "Then my listen instantly went to shark."
