Information: The penultimate Whangamata event is doubling up as the national champs in 2010. The event retains the big points from 2009 but the prize money is only to the value of a 3 star event ($3,050). From here the the tour marches on to Port Wiakato so form is everything at this point of the tour. Watch for surfers starting to charge up and down the ratings after a two week break from the Dunnos event. Surfers can’t leave their run until the last event so a good result here is required by anyone seriously considering a charge for the ratings title.
