Background: Owen Wright grew up on NSW south coast with perfect reef barrels and punchy beach breaks. Owen really made an impact on Hawaii’s North Shore when he was only 14 surfing a day at 3rd reef Pipeline and scoring some huge heaving Pipe barrels. His style is smooth and tight in the pocket with a handbook of Aerial maneuvers Owen loves nothing more than floating above the lip, but is just as happy in big meaty barrels. On the Championship tour since 2010. In December 2015 he suffered a brain injury in a wipe out at Pipeline. After relearning to walk he was given a wildcard for the 2017 World Surf League season. In a spectacular comeback, be won the opening event - the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast. Gained inaugural surf spot at Tokyo 2020/21 Olympics via 2019 WSL Championship Tour, and went on to win Bronze.
