Raglan's Daniel Kereopa has hit form at the right time as he pursues the silverware at the national surfing championships in Northland.
Kereopa mastered the right-hand waves at Ninety Mile Beach's Bluff to blitz his rivals in the open men's semifinal heat yesterday.
He scored 15.75 to bound into the
final, where he will meet a trio of Gisborne rivals in Damon Gunness, Dane Simpson and Maz Quinn.
