Xavier Izzard has grabbed a second straight victory to have other SuperGrom title contenders looking over their shoulders.
In only his third event as a Shoes member, the X-man triumphed in the June pointscore to back up a top of the table win in May to zoom up the ratings.
But he will need to keep that sort of high level performance going if he is to catch current frontrunner Travis Heaps, who was runner-up for the second straight contest and now has a handy points advantage on the leaderboard.
The Groms had the event to themselves, refusing to let the small, inconsistent swell get in the way of their feisty spirit.
Big manoeuvres were running thick and fast and in all three heats it was only a waver thin margin that separated the competitors.
Lachlan Hickey was again on fire to come in third, with a hard driving Sam Schriek taking fourth.
Shannon Hatheier and Jae Withers keep the female flag flying high with solid performances.
The Open and Juniors will take centre stage on 23-23 June.
