Despite a decline in numbers, the club has finished in the top two of six of the seven divisions.
“In years past we have had up to 10 crews but this year we had seven,” Edwards said.
“It is the first time we have been consistent in every division and earned such great results across the board.”
The club was victorious in the Open Men, Whale Cup, 160 Masters Men and Masters Women.
The Open Men achieved 87 points and defeated second placed Tugun who finished on 82 points.
The Whale Cup crew, 160 Masters Men and Masters Women all edged out second placed Woolgoolga in their divisions.
The Whale Cup crew won by 13 points, 160s Masters Men dominated their division and earned a 25 point win while the Masters Women did the same for a 21 point division victory.
The Kempsey-Crescent Head Surf Life Saving Club also finished in second place in the 200 Masters Men and Open Women.
The 200 Masters Men were narrowly edged out 74 points to 71 by Macksville/Scotts Head and the Open Women were behind Coffs Harbour by 12 points.
“It was a great effort by everyone involved,” Edwards said.
Kempsey-Crescent Head finished on 707 overall points, 163 competition points ahead of their nearest rival Woolgoolga who finished on 544 points and third placed Coffs Harbour who earned 426 points.
South West Rocks finished in fifth place with 190 points while Hat Head achieved 22 points and 16th place.
Kempsey-Crescent Head will send three crews to the State Titles this weekend held at Swansea-Belmont on the Central Coast.

The same three crews are expected to attend the Australian Titles held at Tugun Beach on the Gold Coast at the end of March.
