Dune Kennings has taken the ultimate prize in New Zealand junior surfing, winning the Under 16 Boys division, and will be competing at the international final of the Quiksilver King of the Groms, in October, in France. Maz Quinn, who grew up surfing the exact peaks that were contested, was elated to see the event run in pumping perfect 1.0m waves, Wainui Beach, Gisborne. Kennings won the Under 16 Boys Final scoring 15.17 out of 20 points. He got off to a flying start on the hooter where he scored a 6.33 point ride. He then lucked into a long lefthander where he proceeded to smash several big turns to post an 8.83 out of a possible 10 points. The two waves in the first five minutes of the final set up Kennings so that he could be selective and pick off the best waves from then on. Ultimately his score line did not change for the remainder of the final.
