Julian Wilson, backside roter beneath the Pier, CA
Julian Wilson is always dangerous at Huntington, always in control of his heats and always looking promising to win. Last year, at this event, he was hoisted onto shoulders following the final buzzer and drank in the sweetest of fruits, being a champagne shower in front of thousands of screaming, mostly-female fans. And this year it ain’t a stretch to imagine a repeat, considering how at ease the dude looks in the shadow of the pier, how perfectly he spins these backside full-rotes, how focused he is. This particular spin scooped Jules a 9.8, which is an excellent outcome any way you slice it, and an almost-guaranteed heat win at HB. Expect more to come.
