The sand quartet of Sam Zustovich, Brock Scrivener, Kate Lewis and Payton Williams continued their strong form to finish in the top three after six rounds of the surf sports series.
Williams, who has been new addition to the Mollymook team this season, finished second in the final round of women's beach sprint at Wanda, Cronulla on the weekend.
Williams leap-frogged her rivals with a blistering final round to nab the bronze medal overall.
Kate Lewis, a current Australian champion, has transitioned into the open category this season. Lewis finished second in the open women's beach flags at Coolum in round two.
She was rewarded for her consistent season, finishing third overall in the series of the open women's beach flags.
The competitive duo of Zustovich and Scrivener have vied for podium positions in the men's beach flags and men's beach sprints throughout the six rounds.
Zustovich had a hot start to the season when he claimed wins at round two in Coolum and round three at North Wollongong in the beach flags event. He finished second in round five at Surfers Paradise and third in the final round at Wanda.
His consistency paid dividends with a silver medal in the open men's beach flags while he finished fifth in the beach sprint category - just 16 points behind the bronze medalist.
Zustovich will be chasing his fifth individual Australian gold medal at Broadbeach in six week's time.
Scrivener continued his great form from last season's Australian Championships. He claimed two top-three finishes in the Ocean6 series with a third in the men's beach flags at Queenscliff and he was runner-up to Zustovich at North Wollongong
Scrivener's high scoring rounds at Queenscliff and North Wollongong cemented his place, with a bronze medal overall in the beach flags category.
