The sixth and final day of the Port Stephens Surf Festival at One Mile Beach saw a huge day of longboard and SUP action as the event crowned a range of different champions across a wide array of divisions.
Max Weston, Avalon fought a tight battle with Frank Murphy, Yamba to claim the open men’s longboard title.

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.
