London 2012 silver medallists David Florence and Richard Hounslow dominated the British Canoe Slalom trials.
The C2 pair went undefeated over three days of racing at Lee Valley, with Olympic champion Etienne Stott and Mark Proctor finishing second.
Both crews will race for Olympic qualification at the World Championships later this year.
"It's a high standard, so to win by such a high margin was pleasing," Florence told BBC Sport.
"There is a lot competition in the C2 field at the moment."
