The Single Fin Mingle 2026 - Men’s Results
Before the men had even hit the water, a late shift in the draw set the tone. With finals pushed to Sunday, current World Champion and 2025 SFM winner was forced to withdraw — graciously gifting his spot to a young Hawaiian talent who hadn’t planned to compete.
Semi-final one delivered a major moment for the home crowd, with Sumner’s own Jack Tyro getting a win over former World Champion Harrison Roach — both surfers posting high scores to progress into the final. In semi-final two, Gold Coast’s Archy Bemrose was the real bolter of the event, earning his place in the final in his first Mingle appearance alongside Mount Maunganui’s Jordan Griffin — still the only two-time Men’s Mingle champion.
The final was a world-class showcase of traditional longboarding. Archy continued his incredible run, finishing second, ahead of local phenom Jack Tyro in third and Jordan Griffin in fourth. But it was Harrison Roach, in his first competition since claiming his 2022 world title, who reminded everyone why he is one of the best of this generation. With clean, head-high lines rolling through, Harrison opened up his full repertoire - delivering what was quite possibly some of the finest longboarding ever seen in a New Zealand contest. A perfect 10 in the scoreline left the rest of the field chasing combinations.
The Mingle, once again, providing a stage for world-class surfing in its purest form.
