Postcards from Mundaka : 140107
Ola Chicos, Chicas
It took 13 days but it came down to 100 minutes of super viewing action when Mundaka pulled thumb & gave us what we wanted . . it wasn't all time but it sure was better than 'Back to Bakio'.
White Lightening Mick was fast but no fast enough on the 2-3ft sandbar on his backhand, Booby Martinez was. Then Slater thought he was featuring in a Rip Curl Search adventure hunting for the non-existent super peeler, sitting deep on the sandbar he didn't get what he thought was there finishing with a heat total of 4.93. The lowest heat total of the entire event I think. He is still the King though, don't get that wrong!
Burrow VS Bobby, regular VS screw foot, who do you think won? Bobby did what Slater tried to do & came off the better. Taj sat a bit a wider and hooked a 9.33. In the end it was a mere 0.23 points separating the two and Bobby claimed the first back to back win in Mundaka for the first time in the history of the event.
I got to see all this from the channel, it was a mix of frustration and glee. I missed a few shots but I also got a few. I try, what more can a person who looks through a tiny window pushing a button do?
Home time Tuesday, get back Wednesday, Taco Zulu here I come get my Chimmy Changa and Mule ready, I will fight the stomach ulcer burn.
