Hi, my name is Julian Wilson. My discipline is Surfing . My friends call me Jules. I was born on 8 November 1988 in Queensland, Australia. My special talent is sleeping anywhere. My philosophy of life is keep it fun and do the right thing. The most important person in my life is tough one, my parents. My favourite food is so many but I do love sushi. My favourite music is 90's rap.
Bio: In his younger years, Julian Wilson was on the cover of teen
dream magazines. Now he's on the cover of the world's best surfing
magazines. And it ain't a surprise. Jules grew up in a family of surfers
on the Sunshine Coast and, ever since he can remember, he's ridden
waves, so it should come as no shock that he quickly scooped national
titles in both longboarding and shortboarding.
It was the latter that he was more attracted to, honing it to a point where victories at Pro Juniors were frequent and a 2006 ISA World Junior title was an easy step. In 2007 he invented his own move – yes, you read that right – called the Sushi Roll, which was a mixture between a backside rodeo and a superman. As hard as it sounds.
Jules is the youngest-ever winner of the Surfer Poll award for Best Performance of the Year, which he clocked for his part in Quiksilver’s Young Guns III. 2010 saw Julian release his own signature film, Scratching the Surface, which was the result of a year's hiatus from competing.
Once that was done, he could get serious about competition, and he did just that, qualifying within a year. After a couple of years adjustment time on the tour, Jules won the 2012 US Open, the Breaka Burleigh Pro and the Rip Curl Pro, Portugal.
And for 2013 it seems he's continuing in the same vein. With a win at the Mr Price Pro in Ballito and bronze medals at the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro and the Burton Toyota Pro, Jules is absolutely stomping it this year!
