Billabong Pro Mundaka, October 2 or 3 – 14, 2006

Mundaka: Bakio, Spain

LATITUDE: 43º17’ N

LONGITUDE: 2º7’

WTIME DIFFERENCE: GMT +1

ATTITUDE: Last season saw the famed lefthander up and vanish due to the dredging of the adjacent reservoir. Fortunately, as we go to press, rumour has it that Mundaka is back in action and prepared to provide stellar conditions once again.

THE WAVE: Goofies unite and sing praise for this reeling sandbar left. Hollow, long, rippable – this wave is heaven for those guided by the wisdom of their right foot. Fun at two feet, holds at 15, Mundaka is a fantastic place for competitors to flash their high-performance fangs.

PERKS: Mundaka’s sandy bottom is conducive to playful surfing. Win the event, and the locals chuck you into the harbour…

PERILS: Monstrous, sandy barrels that want to eat you, your board and your wettie. A crazy rip that, if you don’t have a jet-ski assist, may have you paddling for dear life.

APRES SURF: Spain is host to several hundred world-class tapas bars. Sample the local wine, grab some appetizers, and enjoy the beautiful Basque countryside.
