McKevlin's first became introduced to Justin Quintal when he was a grom from Hilton Head, SC. Back then, he used to venture north and surf against the Folly Beach locals in our district of the ESA. ​

Since that time he's moved to Neptune Beach, FL, picked up a sponsorship from Ricky Carroll Surfboards, won three of Joel Tudor's Duct Tape Invitational competitions in a row, and sold hundreds of JQ model surfboards shaped by Mr. Carroll.

Now, Justin has embarked on the next adventure in his surf career - starting his own company - Black Rose Mfg. Justin says he is on a pursuit to create timeless surf equipment, to oscillate and operate between progressive surfing and surfing's past. His end result:  Surfboards that provide further insight into the practice of wave riding. To do this, he's chosen Ricky Carroll to be his primary shaper.
