Julian Wilson Takes Down First Ever ASP 6-Star SriLankan Airlines Pro Arugam Bay

ARUGAM BAY, Sri Lanka (Thursday, June 24, 2010) – Australia’s Julian Wilson has won the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) 6-Star SriLankan Airlines Pro in flawless four-to-six foot (2 metre) feet surf on an epic final day.

Wilson came into this event courtesy of a wildcard from the sponsor and throughout the event he dominated, continually posting the day’s highest scoring rides and took a deserved win over 19 year-old USA surfer Nat Young.
