European competitors have the added challenge of building on their European Men’s Series ratings at the Relentless Boardmasters which is stop nº 4 of 12 and will eventually crown this year’s European Men’s Champion.

Marc Lacomare (FRA) stormed home in both his semi-final to beat Russel Winter (GBR) 34, and to repeat the performance in the 35-minute final over a dejected Jay Quinn.

Claiming his maiden ASP Men’s Star-Series win Lacomare has kicked off his ASP European summer leg campaign in fine fashion and with the allocation of a wildcard in the upcoming events is set to launch a serious assault on the ASP ratings this year.

“I feel so great at this moment and with my boards working so well and with my friends helping me out because I was a bit lost and then at the end I got that wave and the score and I am over the moon right now.”

I’ve had a long year competing on both ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) and Pro Junior events. I had an injury in June and July and I got back to competition to focus on the junior series, and it finishes perfectly with that title.”
