Julian Wilson pitches from the sand at Bondi Beach, NSW

But, not everyone is in South Africa yet! Mick Fanning throws medicine balls on the beach at Duranbah! And Julian Wilson hospitalises end sections at the Bondi Beach! Winter has fallen upon Australia, no longer teasing with any kind of spring warmth but now dealing only in chill. But with that comes swell and stiff morning offshores and waves, waves, waves. Before he heads to the land of Jordy Smith and vuvuzelas, Julian lit up Sydney’s most busy stretch of sand for a morning session, beginning at 7am and including some above-lip work, some below-lip work, and as we enjoy here, some in-lip work. While Rod Owen gifted us this frame from his memory card, Jimmy Lees logged motion footage, which you can be sure you’ll see at some point in times not yet past. Excite!
