BASQUING IN IT
Posted by Parko in Photos, World Tour
Mundaka today on the high tide... the bank is there, we just need some swell.
Drove down this morning from Hossegor and have just arrived in Mundaka. Sunday afternoon here and the bars down on the harbour were pretty well packed with local crew. I always love coming back to Mundaka… it’s such a pretty little place with all the cobblestone streets and bars.
Louie and I actually drove down during the week and had a little surf on the bank. Sagey gave us a call and told us there were waves so we decided to jump in the car and have a surf on the bank. It was only a couple of foot, but the bank here is about as good as I’ve ever seen it. The sand is unbelievable, so if we get any swell for the contest it’s going to be epic.
The waves this morning at Hossegor were the flattest I think I’ve ever seen it. There wasn’t even a little surge on the shorey, and it was pretty much the same when we got down to Mundaka. They’re calling for a little pulse of swell tomorrow so there’s a good chance we’re gonna run tomorrow, but we might be on the beachies instead of the rivermouth.
I’m feeling pretty psyched to get a result here. I’ve done all right here in the past and always feel comfortable here. I lost the final to CJ in the last 10 seconds last year, so I’d love to finally win this one. We’re starting to get into the home straight with the season so it’s getting interesting.
