In the open men's division, Mount Maunganui surfer Ant McColl claimed his maiden tour victory in his home waters at Tay Street. The final was the closest of the tour this year with 0.50 points separating first from third.
McColl staved off Auckland's Matt Cockayne from taking his first tour title while the current ratings leader, Auckland's Thomas Kibblewhite, had to settle for third.
Despite this, Kibblewhite extended his lead on the tour ratings and Cockayne jumped to second ahead of the weekend's winner McColl in third. In the women's longboard division, sole Australian finalist Molly Powell looked superior with her soft footwork working the board; her best ride was her last and she scored 7.60. She claimed the victory ahead of Raglan's Alexis Poulter and current ratings leader Piha's Mischa Davis in third. Defending tour champion Shelley Jones from Auckland was fourth.
It took Mount Maunganui surfer Guy Rencher three consecutive finals to lock in a win in the over-40s but it came on Sunday in relatively easy fashion over Orewa surfer and ratings leader Brian Young.
Christchurch surfer Shayne Baxter squared the tour up at two wins apiece with Raglan's Daniel Kereopa in the stand-up paddleboard division and on Saturday, Auckland's Jeremy Stephenson claimed his first stand-up paddleboard race win over Raglan's Armie Armstrong.
