The fourth annual surfing competition was run at Box Beach on Saturday, August 22.
Competitors from as far away as Queensland fronted up to surf across the three divisions: opens, juniors and masters.
Wave conditions were small, in the one to two-foot range, but offered contestable peaks for all boardriders.
Harmon Kassulke from Sydney's Northern Beaches took out the junior division from Morgan Cibilic, Dylan Moffat and Ryan Slattery.
Masters was won by Mitch Dawkings from Nelson Bay and follows on from a successful NSW State Titles competition in June and a second placing at the Australian titles earlier in August.
Simon Hasson finished second, with brother Chris Hasson third and Stockton's Steve Berlin fourth.
The open division final was a close affair with Anna Bay's Chris Michalak narrowly edging out the Central Coast's Dane Atcheson.
Kurtis Herman produced the highest single wave score of the final but could not get a decent back-up score and finished third.
Cibilic, who had put on a fine performance all day in two divisions, finished fourth in the final.
