Stokesy commented "I'll be working hard to reclaim the title at my home break. This time of year usually delivers some decent swell and last year we had epic conditions and hoping for the same again this year, I can't wait"
Also representing for Animal in the womens division will be Easkey Britton, who featured in the epic 2009 surf film Waveriders. Easkey will also be making a return to the Animal Newquay Open and is excited to be at the Animal event
"I was here in 2008 but unfortunately could not make last year's event and missed the good waves. There will be a few of us Irish girls making the trip and we hope we can put on a good show" said Easkey.
