Wilson was born and raised in Coolum Beach, Queensland. He is an ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Wilson's mother is a breast cancer survivor, and he was inspired to ride a pink board by close family friend and international cricketer Matt Hayden, who plays with a pink bat for the same cause.

Wilson was in the water during the final of the J-Bay Open 2015 in South Africa when three-time world champion Mick Fanning was attacked by a great white shark. He paddled towards Fanning to assist, was praised for his action and subsequently hailed as a hero. The event was cancelled. Both surfers escaped unharmed and were given a shared victory. Following the ordeal, Wilson gave a tear-filled interview, and when asked "You guys are locked in a title battle right now, and to put things into perspective does that mean anything to you at this point in time?" he replied "No, not at all, I'm just happy he's alive."
