Yes, we might be a little late to the party on this one. The first time we noticed the puka-shell–wearing kid was at the US Open in Huntington Beach, California, ripping through heat after heat (riding for Quiksilver). And make no mistake—Americans love seeing the Aussies show up in our backyard. Occy, Mick Fanning, and Taj Burrow were hands-down the best Australians to ever compete at the US Open, with Julian Wilson right behind them.

Before landing on his website, I’ll be honest—I was expecting something loud, maybe even over the top. Julian never exactly shied away from bold colors during his time with Quiksilver, Nike, and Hurley, especially compared to the more muted direction of Rivvia Projects. The question now is whether Rivvia has real staying power, or if it will fade like fellow Aussie Luke Stedman’s Insted We Smile—a name that still leaves us scratching our heads.

Mate, where is underwear? (not VNDA)

Surf, Golf, Active - Which one are you

Julian's first manager was his brother Bart who later Wasserman brought on full time to represent his brother - now living in Idaho??

Welcome to Rivvia Projects with Julian Wilson

News in 2025 Julian made a quick crack at requalifying for the CT tour, but that ended with a few bad results and he's now back inside his office packing your orders
