Julian Wilson, whiteout slob on the Sunshine Coast, QLD

No matter where you travel to, or move to for work, or go for a holiday, there ain’t anything quite like surfing at home. The area you grew up in, the place you love, imperfections included, and know inside out. For Jules Wilson, pictured here, that means the Sunshine Coast. In between Hawaii, Cali, and wherever else the winds of competition or sponsorship commitments blow him, Jules logged some time at home during the Christmas and New Years stretch. In fact, the slob y’see above occurred on christmas eve. There might not have been any snow, but as y’can see here, Jules had himself a white christmas anyhow.

There’s a real good collection of footage from 2012 playing on Jules’ website right now, too, and well worth your time. Head over here and watch it.
