2008 Billabong Pro Mundaka Surf Contest Starts
October 1st, 2008 by Adam
The 2008 Billabong Pro Mundaka, Spain has started. The first contest rounds were surfed this morning in 2 foot A-frame peaks. Not the normal firing left-handed barrels that Mundaka spits out on a solid swell. Too bad the surfers had to wake up to such fickle waves. Hopefully, the forecasted swell fills in Thursday and pumps out some better scoring waves. Watching 3 and 4 point scores on waves aren’t as fun as watching 8’s or 9’s!
Watch out for the 4 Euskadi (Basque for the Basque region of Spain) surfers in this years event. There are a total of 8 non-tour surfers competing because 5 full-time ASP World Tour surfers could not make the event. The 8 non-tour surfers are comprised of 5 replacement surfers and 3 event wildcards.
