Short Biography

Coolum’s Julian Wilson is undoubtedly one of the world’s most exciting and talented surf stars. Along with prodigious international talents like the USA’s Dane Reynolds and South African Jordy Smith, Julian is spearheading the new gen of high performance surfing. Three awesome achievements stand out for Julian, amid a stellar junior career peppered with wins in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Europe. In 2006, he was the toast of Team Australia when he claimed gold by winning his first world title at the Quiksilver ISA World Junior Championships held at Maresias, Brazil. In 2007 he attempted – and landed – the world’s first “Sushi Roll”; a twisting, rotating aerial manouver he created and named during a trip to Japan. And later that same year he stood before the greats of the entire surf industry at the 35th annual Surfer Poll awards night in Aneheim, California and accepted the award for “Best Performance of the Year” for his incredible section in Quiksilver’s award winning film “Young Guns III”. In the process, he became the youngest ever recipient of the award.

Since, Julian has become one of the most in-demand surfers on the planet; his life a continuous whirlwind of filming, photographic and promotional shoots for his sponsors and the media. Magazine covers in Australia, the USA and elsewhere are now common and among his video credits are the Quiksilver Young Guns series and the 2009 release of Taylor Steele’s “Stranger Than Fiction” Julian has also surfed in front of 25,000 people in the strangest of places – the Sunway Lagoon wavepool in the land-locked city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he was whipped into two-to-three foot man-made waves by a jet-ski. Born and raised on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Julian, 20, is the youngest of three brothers - Seb, xx and Bart, xx - who also surf. Under the watchful and caring eye of mum Nola, who occasionally paints the designs seen on Julian’s boards, together they make a proud surfing family. His own film is due for release in September 2010.
