Finishing third in the final was national champion and New Zealand representative Zen Wallis (Piha) with Whakatane surfer Joe Stewart finishing in fourth place.
Waihi Beach surfer Alexis Poulter claimed the title in the women's Longboard after a tough four-way battle in the final. Poulter, a double finalist after competing in the women's Stand Up Paddleboard final, sealed her victory on her last wave surfing to a 9.03 point total heat score. She defeated New Zealand representative Gabi Paul (Piha) who finished second ahead of Kiri Binnersley (Mount) in third and Sunny Yoshida (Rag) in fourth.
Auckland's Ollie Houghton (Takapuna) claimed the double with the Starboard Men's Stand Up Paddleboard Surfing Division and King of the Waves race.
Houghton made up for a semifinal exit at the nationals in January with the win, posting a 12.5 point heat total in the final. Houghton defeated Sean Hovell (Gis) who challenged for the win on several occasions but could not find the speed or match the precision of the Takapuna teenager. Whangamata surfer Karlos Aarsen finished in third place ahead of local Mark Jones.
The untouchable Stella Smith (Gis) claimed her second win of the season in the Starboard Women's Stand Up Paddleboard Division. Smith posted 12.4 points in the final with her aggressive approach. Alexis Poulter could not secure the double but finished in second place ahead of Kaikoura surfer Lucy Te Moananui in third and Eva Petrikova (Mount) in fourth.
The Over 40s and 50s Longboard Divisions were claimed by defending champions Owen Barnes (Mount) and Mark Hoyle (Orewa) respectively.
