Julian Wilson, legendary Queensland surfer announces comeback
One Big Thing
Sunshine Coast’s own Julian Wilson, a surfer who Queenslanders in particular love and respect and enjoy seeing absolutely rip, is gearing up for a major comeback after a three-year break from the competitive scene following an announcement just hours ago on Instagram.
Into The Detail
In the recent post, Julian reflected on his decision to step back from the World Tour (WT) three years ago, following his Tokyo Olympic campaign.
He chose to focus on his family during a mentally challenging time, a decision he’s never regretted.
Now, with a renewed competitive spirit, Julian is aiming for a WSL wildcard for the 2025 Challenger Series.
Why It Matters
Julian’s return is about more than just surfing—it's about embracing a healthy lifestyle and reigniting his passion for competition.
With long-time sponsors and his brand, Rivvia Projects, behind him, Julian’s comeback is set to be an exciting chapter in his career.
Local Impact
Though from the Sunshine Coast, Julian is celebrated across Queensland for his talent and character and has been for years.
His story of balancing family and professional aspirations will strike a chord with many who value both personal and professional fulfilment
Keep It Fun
As Julian puts it, “I love surfing and I’m still too damn competitive at heart to not give it another shot.” With his eyes on 2025, all of the global surfing community is ready to see him rip.
