In the NSW SUP State Titles final at One Mile Beach on Monday, Josh put on a solid display of giant forehand carves and snaps in the under-18 junior men's final to post a near-perfect 9.67 wave score.
This was on top of a 7.5 seeing the Anna Bay teen amass a giant 17.17 two-wave heat total to win the event.
It is the second year Josh has won the division and earned a spot on the NSW team for the Australian SUP Titles at Phillip Island in October. He said he was "happy" with the result.
The teen placed fourth in the open men's division of the SUP titles on Tuesday, the same day his father Dave placed second in the over-50 men's final.
Goyne placed second in the over-40 women's division of the NSW Longboard Titles. The Corlette surfer was edged out by Wendy Stevenson from Banora Point in the final held at One Mile Beach on Sunday.
The finish will see her head to the Australian Longboard Titles at Tweed Heads in August.
The SUP and longboard events form the Port Stephens Surf Festival, which was staged at One Mile, Birubi and Shoal Bay beaches between June 20 and 25.
Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer, who presented some of the winners trophies across the festival, congratulated the 200 competitors that took part.
