//40// Billabong Pro Mundaka / Trilogy / Billabong Junior Series Final
Summary
Billabong Pro Mundaka
If it hadn’t been for the very last day of the waiting period, this year’s edition of the Billabong Pro Mundaka would have been renamed Billabong Pro Bakio. Welcome to shralp surf episode 40. Apart from the Semis and the Final, all rounds had to be held at nearby Bakio, unfortunately a rather mediocre beachbreak. If the contest would have been held in pumping Mundaka waves, the general outcome could have been a different, but in the end, the top surfers of the season where the last surfers standing. It was Mick against defending champ Bobby Martinez and Kelly against Taj in the semis. Bobby, on his forehand in rhythm beat Mick in semi number one. Kelly didn’t find any scoring waves in his semi against Taj at all and had to settle for equal third. The final got exciting again after Taj came back with a 9.33, but the ocean went flat for the last few minutes. So it’s Bobby back to back and the title will most probably go down in Brazil. //
Trilogy
by Billabong and Taylor Steele
Taj, Andy and Parko… These three names simply means: must see. The movie already premiered in the States and Europe and is available in the best surf shops. //
