Julian Wilson is set to make a push for the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT) after receiving a wildcard for the 2025 Challenger Series. The Australian, who stepped away from full-time competition in 2021, now has a clear path to requalify for the elite tour through the WSL’s second-tier series.
Wilson, a former world title contender, took a break from competitive surfing to focus on family and business but has remained active in select events. With the Challenger Series serving as the gateway back to the CT, Wilson will need strong performances across the 2025 season to secure his return.
His experience, competitive mindset, and technical ability make him a serious contender for qualification. As he takes on the rising talents of the Challenger Series, all eyes will be on whether Wilson can reclaim his place among the world’s best surfers.
