FISTRAL BEACH, Newquay/England (Sunday, August 14, 2011) – Romain Cloitre (REU) 22, won the ASP 6-Star Relentless Boardmasters in assoc. with Vans defeating Mitch Coleborn (AUS) 24, in a lead swapping final 14.77 to 9.36, to claim his maiden ASP Star tour victory in windblown 3 to 4 foot peaks in front of a huge crowd lining the Fistral beach shoreline.

Coleborn, who took home his first podium finish, almost pulled off a massive air-reverse with incredible rotation in the opening minute of the final. That one missed opportunity eventually proving costly as Coleborn took home the runner-up cheque.

"I just cruised into that first wave," explained Coleborn. "I didn't expect such a big section off the bat. First wave of the heat I would have liked to have found my feet before I got that section. I fell off and it almost played on my mind a bit out there. I didn't really consolidate on that opportunity so I was a little bit rattled. I then just tried to wait it out and the waves just never came to me."

Coleborn, who was sitting outside the top ranked 100 in the world, will now rocket up the ASP World rankings to place himself in 93rd, a better position for qualification into the crucial ASP 6-Star and PRIME events coming up over the following weeks in Europe.

"I'm stoked overall because it is the best result I have ever had. It is the start of the European leg as well and it has given me a bunch of confidence going into the next couple of 6-stars and I am just stoked to climb up the rankings a little bit."
