Relentless Finish

Gisborne surfer Jay Quinn, 27, has taken second place at the ASP Relentless Boardmasters competition in Newquay, England. Quinn said of his placing: “I’m happy because it’s a career best result for myself and hopefully it will get me on a roll heading into the next five events.” The Relentless Boardmasters is the fourth of 12 events which will eventually crown this year’s European Men’s Champion. Fellow New Zealander Billy Stairmand finished 17th. Quinn currently lives on Australia’s Gold Coast.
