Mount Maunganui surfer Georgia Wederall has claimed a national title at this year's Sticky Johnson Primary School Championships.

Georgia claimed her third straight win in the Girls' Division to make it a clean sweep of victories over Levin surfer Natasha Goldsbury.

She recently relocated from Christchurch to Mount Maunganui, and has quickly immersed herself in the hotbed of female surf talent in the region.

Meanwhile, Natasha will return to Levin where she says she surfs by herself the majority of the time. Whangarei surfer Thomas Robinson claimed his first national level win at the weekend to take out the Boys' Division.

A return to the more familiar surrounds of the northern end of Makorori Beach saw the grommets greeted with a solid 1.0m swell and light onshore winds.

Thomas was the lone goofy-foot surfer in the final, but used that to his advantage, setting himself apart from his opponents with some exceptional backhand surfing both in the final and the earlier round robin heats.

The youngster finished with a 9.83-point heat total to claim victory over event standouts Tom Butland and Finn Johnson, who had both been undefeated until that point.

Tom got the nod over Thomas, posting an 8.4 point heat total for a runner-up finish with James Ririnui finishing in fourth place.

Earlier it was Tom and James who eliminated Manawa Ruru and Myka Black in the first semi-final while Thomas and Finn defeated Cory Vercoe and Maddy Barclay.

After the last of three preliminary rounds held early in the afternoon, eight surfers were locked on 18 points with only the last two qualifying spots up for grabs, which went to Cory Vercoe and James Ririnui by way of their superior combined heat scores.

The closeness of the round robin format proved that there was double the amount of qualifiers that could easily have filled the top eight.

A good number of the groms now head in to the GromLab Surfer Development Camp which started this morning.

The four-day camp will have a number of New Zealand's young surfers sampling what the region has to offer in terms of waves, whilst under the guidance of the region's top coaches.
