A wide variety of state champions across an array of divisions were crowned at One Mile Beach on Sunday, as the festival came to a close.

Max Weston (Avalon) fought a tight battle with Frank Murphy (Yamba) to claim the Open Men’s longboard title.

Weston put on an impressive display of traditional and exciting frontside turns to post a respectable 14.6 heat total and claim the win ahead of Murphy by less than half a point. All finalists have earned themselves a spot into the NSW Team for the Australian Surf Festival.

Former Australian Champion Tully White (Allambie Heights) added another prestigious accomplishment to her portfolio taking out the Open Women’s division. White posted two impressive heat totals in excess of 16.00 to gain the upper hand against her opponents and take the top spot on the dais.

Following in the footsteps of his world-renowned longboarder brother Dane Pioli, Jayce Pioli (Milton) put on a thrilling display of traditional longboarding to take out the Open Men’s Logger title.

Pioli put on a healthy display of style and flow to notch up a 15.1 two-wave heat total and take out the win ahead of Open Men’s champion Max Weston (Avalon) who took out the runner-up spot.

In the racing divisions of the ECS Boards SUP State Titles, Ty Jusdon (Boomerang Beach) and James Casey (Collaroy) claimed one win and a runner-up each with Judson taking out the Marathon race while Casey took top honours in the Technical race.

Both SUP riders went neck-and-neck over the two races with only three minutes separating the two in the Marathon and less than a second in the technical. 

Terrene Black (North Entrance) took a clean sweep of victories across the Marathon and Technical race divisions. The accomplished racer put on a valiant display over the two races, finishing the Marathon in one hour 46minutes and 58 seconds and wrapping up the Technical race in 36 minutes and 38 seconds.
