Lachlan Braddish placed first in the Under-9s, Keisha Bovill placed third in the Under-12s and Rachel Wood came sixth also in the Under-12s.
"The day started in heavy fog but once that lifted the heat of the day appeared and also the wave swell peaked," said club secretary Ms Christine Lavers.
Umina members also received commendable results in the Central Coast Branch Lifesaver events held over a two-day period on January 29 and 30 at Umina.
Kerry Armstrong Smith, Rick Boylan, Gaby Krucler, Helen Krucler and Jack Waining won the Champion Lifesaver event which comprised practical, theory and surf sport elements.
