Watch: Caleb Tancred’s Lead-Footed Rivvia Debut

Back in 2021, after a decade in the ring, Julian Wilson finally got sick of the punches and lobbed the towel straight into Erik Logan’s face. Instead of competing, he chose to embrace fatherhood and pour his energy into building his clothing empire: Rivvia Projects.

Julian’s bourgeoning brand tastefully blends skate-culture with mid-30s golf-core, and on top of that, it backs the Avalon-born heavy-hitter we’re here to talk about: Caleb Tancred.

“Originally, the goal was to put together a welcome-to-the-team clip, but it ended up dragging out due to a few different reasons,” says Caleb. “I tore my MCL at home, then I went on Euro-Summer and went running with the bulls. Not a good combo.”

Before Caleb blew out his knee, he stacked enough high-voltage clips around Aus to put together a two-and-a-half-minute, red-letter surf part. 

With graduation from his University degree just weeks away, Rivvia’s golden boy has a clear vision: “The plan is to focus on the regionals for 2025, for a solid Challenger Series push in 2026 — and then hopefully meet Jules on tour in 2027.”

Watch the clip above, then check yourself into Surf Rehab, and tell me the thought of a 1-2 Rivvia punch on the Wozzle circuit in 2027 doesn’t make your heart twitch.
