Found at Bells Beach, Torquay in the late 60s with a camera in his hand, Peter 'Joli' Wilson, with his dual signature of blade-sharp surfing action and high exotica, has been a pillar of the surf media for the last four decades. He’s currently senior contributor to just about every major surf magazine you can think of, and a couple more on top of that.

Peter Joli's initial interest in photography came from his Grandfather, a successful amateur filmmaker and photographer. At the age of 14, he helped Peter process his first roll of B&W film shot on a camera given to him by his Godfather. On this roll of film, his grandfather had taken a photo of Peter holding his first surfboard, a 9'2" Gordon Woods. The scene was set.
