Former Australian top player Julian Wilson will no longer seek a return to the CT, he announced on his social media a week ago.

"Dreams of returning to the WSL fade as I take Rivvia by the horns," he said.

"My true passion is to make this brand a reflection of my gratitude for the golden age of professional surfing, which I am very grateful to have lived through," he added.

Wilson, after announcing his return and receiving a wildcard for the CS, had an epic appearance on the CT in Burleigh where he placed second behind Toledo, but that was all.

According to Swellnet, he is no longer registered at the Pipe CS and also not at the one near his home, Newcastle.
