Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 13 April, 2010 : - - The last event for the 2009/2010 VQS Crustaceous Tour was held at Raglan, New Zealand. Due to small conditions on the point we were forced to hold the event at the back beach, Ruapuke. The conditions were small on the day, reaching about 1-2 foot. Some say that is as small as it gets, but there were still some contestable waves all the same. The Pro Am division definitely struggled in the smaller conditions, but there were still some good waves to be had if you picked the right one. Alex Dive looked strong all day, picking off the waves and taking out the win ahead of Daniel Kereopa (“DK”), Rangi Ormond and Timmy O’connor.

Matt Hewitt picking up another fifth placing on the ASP Australasian Tour , Matt Hewitt was the highest placed Kiwi finishing fifth after being eliminated by Chris Friend (AUS). The result has Matt ranked tenth with the next event being the Billabong Pro Junior at Manu Bay on the 13th of May.

Matt won every heat he contested except the under 18 final and had the highest heat score with a 19 out of 20 in the open semi.

The national finals of the Rip Curl GromSearch were won by Alex Dive (Mnt) and Alexis Poulter (Rag). Dive was the only non local to win a division this weekend and he did so in fashion with all his competitors requiring two massive scores to catch him. The two surfers win entries into the international final to be held in conjunction with the Rip Curl Pro held at Bells Beach next month

The new Under 20 Mens Division was dominated by the local Mount Maunganui juniors with Matt Hewitt edging out Alex Dive and Tim OfConnor to take the win.

The lead changed several times throughout the final with OfConnor holding on for much of the heat. Hewitt came back strong with a string of manoeuvres on one small righthander that netted him 6.9 out of a possible 10 to jump into the lead."

I was real stoked to take it out in front of all my mates" commented Hewitt. It was a real back and forth final. I had to build on the six I got early in the heat and that 6.9 that I got did the trick but it was a close one, especially against the three locals. Alex Dive (Mnt) rode the very next wave after Hewitts 6.9 point ride. Requiring 6.8 points, he came up agonisingly short scoring 6.65 which jumped him to second place on 13.25 points, only just ahead of Tim OfConnor on 13.10.

The three local boys did a good job on Sandy Bay surfer and double finalist Paco Divers who could only manage a 9.75 point total heat score for fourth.
