Julian Wilson, jumbo throw under Huntington pier, CA
Julian Wilson beat Brett Simpson at the US Open of Surfing this morning. Any heat has a level of importance, but this one was especially loaded for both men. Brett has won at Huntington twice before. His main sponsor, Hurley, are one of the sponsoring partners of the event. And, he’s a Huntington local. For Julian, this is the second event this year that his main sponsor, Nike, has put on. The first was the Nike Lowers Pro, where he lost first heat thanks to an interference. Understandably, kid wants a result in Surf CIty. Julian was behind until two-thirds through the heat when he stomped an almost-full-rote for an 8.93. And when Brett stood up on his last wave, many a nail was bitten among the big, throbbing crowd. But he didn’t make any magic. With warm-up freesurf sizzle like y’see pictured here, is it surprising that Jules is into the quarterfinals? Stab thinks no!
