QUINN LOOKS UNSTOPPABLE IN 2011

Jay Quinn has stormed to his third victory from four events on the SOL Series this summer and is fast becoming the most dominant surfer in New Zealand.

Quinn won the Power Balance Pro at Mount Maunganui today by blasting his opponents into submission scoring 16.37 out of a possible 20 points in the final. A near perfect 9.33 point ride out of a possible 10 early in the final helped his cause and it was a wave that his fellow three finalists could not match.

Quinny's style shining in perfect rights.

The win follows his first victory of the season at home in Gisborne back in November before winning the National Championships held at Dunedin in January and then placing an agonising runner up at the most recent event in Whangamata two weeks ago, a final he had won, until the last 40 seconds.Quinn extends his lead on the SOL Series beyond 2400 points which is a massive lead that will take a miracle to bridge by any of his fellow surfers."It's a crazy but definitely a good start to the year, hopefully I can continue this form through to the international events this year" said Jay “the Fern” Quinn.

Quinny is looking forward to a big year on the World Qualifying Series.
