Thandi Durham - Tipene from Taranaki, claimed her first Open Women's Division title in style posting a 5.40 on her last wave to jump from third to first in the dying seconds of the final. Thomas Kibblewhite was one of four surfers to defend their title at the event, Kibblewhite taking back-to-back wins in the Men's Longboard Division. Kibblewhite outclassed his opponents with the third highest heat score of the entire day - 16.73 points out of 20. Over the week twenty five national titles were claimed.
