The 1988 Pipeline Masters Champion and perennial standout in Australian Indigenous Titles, Robbie Page, hit the Over-50 Men's division with his trademark flair and flow.
The widely respected goofy-footer found a handful of playful lefts in the wave-starved final to post an impressive 14.53 two-wave total and take the victory.
Page dedicated his victory to 2000 World Champion Sunny Garcia, who was recently hospitalised in Portland, Oregon.
The prominent four-day event saw more than 150 competitors - aged 35 and above - battle it out in an attempt to secure an NSW shortboard title and a spot in the national titles at the 2019 SAE Group Australian Surf Championships in Tweed Heads.

Divisions for the event included: Over 35 Men, Over 35 Women, Over 40 Men, Over 45 Men, Over 50 Men, Over 55 Men, Over 60 Men and Open Single Fin.
All finalists received a range of prizes courtesy of Carve, thanks to them and Surfing NSW sharing a common goal to give back to grassroots competition.
