Julian Wilson was born on November 8, 1988, in Coolum Beach, Queensland, Australia. He began his surfing career at an early age, demonstrating significant talent and winning multiple pro junior titles, including the 2006 ISA World Junior Title. His unique blend of aerial maneuvers and sharp turns gained early recognition through Quiksilver’s ‘Young Guns III’ video, which earned him industry accolades such as Surfer Mag’s Breakthrough Performer award. Early in his career, he was identified as a potential World Champion due to his versatile and advanced surfing style. In 2010, Wilson took a break from competitive surfing to produce his film, ‘Scratching the Surface,’ which received critical acclaim.
Wilson officially joined the Championship Tour in 2011, making an immediate impact by securing a third-place finish at Trestles and reaching the Finals in France. These results contributed to his World No. 9 finish and earned him the Rookie of the Year honor. Throughout his career, Wilson has accumulated five Championship Tour victories. Notable wins include the Pipe Masters in 2014, where he also claimed the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, and two significant victories in 2018 at the Gold Coast and in France. In 2018, he achieved his best career ranking, finishing second on the Jeep Leaderboard, contending for a World Title.
Despite a drop in rankings in 2019, Wilson secured a top 10 finish on the Jeep Leaderboard with a strong performance at Pipeline, qualifying him for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games to represent Australia. He continued to compete in events such as the Men’s Challenger Series, with recent appearances in 2025 at the Burton Automotive Newcastle Surfest and the Lexus US Open of Surfing. Beyond competitive surfing, Wilson is also known for being an ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a cause close to him as his mother is a breast cancer survivor. He was recognized for his actions during the 2015 J-Bay Open, where he assisted fellow surfer Mick Fanning during a shark attack.
