"Inspired, he wanted to provide holidayers in Byron Bay with his own luxury, architecturally designed accomodation."
Seven month ago, world number nine Owen Wright paid $5.1 million for an unremarkable beach shack a few hundred metres from The Pass in Australia’s Byron Bay.
Owen, of course, saw more than an idyllic little timber house surrounded by almost half-an-acre of grass and trees.
The just-turned thirty year old saw potential.
And, so, Owen is going to build six pretty villas on the land, either sell ’em for a few mill apiece or rent ’em out via his new luxury accommodation biz Paradiso Property, which already rents out two joints in Byron Bay, a small studio and a swinging house for ten.
Owen is a professional surfer who has been competing on the WSL world tour for 10 years. Travelling the world he has stayed in many beautiful holiday homes. Inspired, he wanted to provide holidayers in Byron Bay with his own luxury, architecturally designed accomodation.

Owen ain’t afraid of playing the real estate game.
You’ll remember the $1.6 million house at Lennox Head with its indoor swimming pool that meandered through the living room, the Federation-style house in Byron Bay (a little under a million), the beachfront townhouse at Thirroul (675,000) and the gorgeous mountain-top hideaway (bought for 750k, sold for a million).
What else?
For the first time in a couple of years, there’ll be three Wrights on the WCT.
Two-time champ Tyler returns to the tour full-time after overcoming a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome diagnosis that threatened to derail her career; Owen’s so-rare-it-didn’t-have-a-name delayed brain trauma that resulted in a push for compulsory helmets is a four-year-old memory and Mikey’s tweaked dorsal is good enough for him to have a three-contest showdown with Leo Fioravanti for the tour’s injury wildcard.
i really dont like any of the local surfers around here that are realtors or anything do with developing property. mostly trust fund babies with an entitlement complex and a suit and a headshot for their new “image”. shit bra, you were burning everyone two years ago and mean mugging everyone in the lineup and know you are trying to sell me a 2bed/2bath shithole that is “modest” for 350k? get the fuck outta here
He’s such a generous fellow is our Owen.
Not only is he, out of the goodness of his heart, developing that land to provide a place for weary travelers to rest their heads, he even let me surf behind him once and share his wave!
And the way he treats people generally is just beyond reproach.
What a great cunt he is.
what. a . cunt

Isn’t hga a Maui thing? Is this what they mean by cultural appropriation?
Luxury must be obtained!!!
Ain’t afraid of playing the real estate game, but unashamedly rocking a free Wix website and unbranded email hosting… Instagram influencer/entrepreneur chic?
Owen branded Cocaine Helmets!! The true unrealised venture!!
