Two in a row. Daniel Kereopa won the longboard division of The Ultimate Waterman 2015, at Raglan, New Zealand. The Kiwi contestant secured a back-to-back victory on his last scoring ride, 9.17 out of a possible 10 points, which combined for an 18.50 point heat total. Kereopa defeated Kai Lenny by a very narrow margin – only 0.43 points. The Hawaiian led for much of the final with two well executed nine-point rides, but it was Kereopa that stole the show with five minutes remaining in the final. The win came in a similar manner to the stand up paddleboard discipline contested the day prior.
