Three Mount surfers topped their division in the third and final event of the Billabong Grom Series, held on home territory last weekend.

Elin Tawharu took her second win of the series on Sunday, claiming first place in the Under 17 Girls Division.

Tawharu posted an 11.10 point heat total in the final to eclipse fellow Mount surfer Tiana-Breeze De Mooij, who took her second runner up finish of the series.

The third Mount Maunganui competitor in the final, Kea Smith, could not find a decent second scoring ride after surfing to the final-high 7.83 point ride for one massive turn. Smith finished in third place with Aimee Brown (Grt Barrier) in fourth.

The Raglan trio of Taylor Hutchison, Indica Ratima and Brie Bennett also claimed big wins.

Hutchison and Ratima won their respective Under 20 Divisions, while Bennett claimed the Under 14 Girls Division in less than desirable conditions as the North Island of New Zealand took another storm lashing. The surf remained around the 1.5m mark all day but it was the strong onshore winds that caused the average surface conditions.

Both Hutchison and Bennett claimed series titles as a result of their wins today, while Claudia Fraser (Piha) won the Under 20 Girls, Conor McLennan (Chch) the Under 17 Boys, and Tom Butland (Oakura) the Under 14 Boys titles.
