"I've grown up with them doing the sport and they are my inspiration sort of," Maia said.
"They are both really good and we've got a really good coaching set-up with Kurt Wilson.
"It's an amazing club; good people. I've grown up with all the boys and girls and they're like my family."
Maia, who began volunteer work as a surf lifesaver last year, wants to win nationals titles in late-March on the way to her ultimate goal of representing her country in the open division.
She does not have far to look for inspiration as her under-19 tube rescue partner, Natalie Peat, rules the sport internationally in her age group.
"She's a world champion, so it's good," Maia smiled.
Her brothers share the same confident yet humble manner of speaking, tinged with the competitive fire that has allowed both to come to prominence in such a strong surf life saving region.
Michael put his strong results in the last couple of seasons down to witnessing the accomplishments of his younger siblings.
"They were both quite good when they were younger and I wasn't so good," Michael said.
"I've only got a lot more competitive in the last few years while they have been dominating their age groups.
"I've always strived for the results they have been getting so it's nice to start getting them now and be a little bit more like the oldest, more dominant child."
The dynamic suits Mason down to the ground, too.
"It makes you go harder with your brother and sister getting places - you just want to beat them all the time," Mason said.
"This is actually my first year racing him in a proper age group. When I was under-14 I got to race up because I have a lucky birthday and that was the first time I raced Michael, but I was pretty young then so didn't have much speed.
"I'm up with him in everything now though and beat him in the Ironman, and got a bit of stick for that."
Having his younger brother pushing him every step and stroke of the way has made Michael a far better athlete.
"It's nice training and racing with Mason, because he pushes me to go harder than I would against any of the other guys.
"I'd never, ever let him beat me... he got me in the Ironman, but I managed to get him in one of the swims. He's getting really good; he's got great fitness which is where he gets me a bit - I'm more of a sprinter. In the longer races he should do a bit better than me."
He described the pair's first and second placings in the Ohope run, swim, run as "pretty wicked" and an example of the impetuousness of youth falling to a wise old hand.
"He was beating me for most of the race and I was thinking about the Ironman next and didn't want to go too hard.
"On the way in I managed to see a wave coming because I was going a bit easier, so I picked it up and went past him and another guy that was in front of me and ran them up the beach."
The trio, who live just 2km from the club, have a busy summer to contend with on their way to the nationals in late-March.
Trips to France with the New Zealand Development team and the Papamoa club for the world club nationals are in prospect, with a series of one-off competitions scheduled in the coming months.
