Jay Quinn joined Billy Stairmand in the round of 48 at the Relentless Boardmaster event being held at Newquay, England this week. Quinn posted a 15.0 points for the win in his first heat at the ASP 5-star event.
Heading back to Europe after a break at home after the European Spring leg in Scotland and France Quinn is hoping to make a result hear at the Relentless Boardmasters the first of six major ASP Men's Star Series events.
“I went out there trying to keep busy and the waves I took off on pushed all the way through to the inside so it was quite nice to get a couple of 7 point rides. I've been here a few times and I've had a quarter-finals finish here and I hope to do better than that this time round.”
“The draw has opened up a lot because there are other events on at the moment so my chances have improved to get a result here,” explained Quinn. “I want to try and take advantage of that. I have had a bit of time off over the last couple of months at home surfing some good waves so I'm feeling good and I will stay for all six events here so looking for a good start to it all with a result here to with.”
