The event is organised by the Crescent Head Malibu Club and president Roger Fergusson said the competition is friendly and feels like a family.
“It’s a very inclusive event, that’s really what drives it and makes it great,” he said.
The competition kicked off on Friday morning but was postponed at 11am due to strong winds and poor surfing conditions.
The heats recommenced on Saturday morning with great weather and ideal conditions.
The majority of the finals were held on Sunday due to the postponed heats on Friday, with the presentation held at The Point at the conclusion of the competition.
