Jay Quinn has been in fine form, winning the last three out of four events on the SOL Series and is fast becoming the most dominant surfer in New Zealand. He got his first win at home in Gisborne back in November, then won the Nationals at Dunedin in January 2011 and just recently won the Power Balance Pro at Mount Maunganui which has given him a commanding lead on the SOL Series. He will be one to watch on the international stage this year.
We caught up with Jay and asked him what he thought about the Volcom VQS events being held at Raglan and this is what he had to say. “I love making the trip over to the West Coast to surf, the VQS at Raglan is so much fun with the long lefts piling down the point. It’s also a great opportunity for the New Zealand surfers to have the chance to compete and represent New Zealand in the USA at the world VQS championships in May 2011.
