Rešite valove
Surfanje prinese v Mundako za 1.5 millijona $ več plač za domačine in ustvarja 95 delovnih mest.
Če bi val izginil ali se poslabšal se večina surferjev ne bi vrnila v Mundako.
Za lokalno gostinstvo in turizem predstavljajo surferji in gledalci 40% gostov. Uničenje vala in odpoved tekme bi lahko pomenilo tudi do 50% manj prometa.

Aritz Aranburu
Zaenkrat kaže kar OK. Včeraj so v takih tubah izpeljali kar 20 heatov, tudi po zaslugi novega sistema prekrivajočih heatov, kjer en heat traja kar 40 minut – a se prekriva z naslednjim heatom. Zvečer sta še posebej sijala južnoafričan Royden Bryson in domačin Aritz Aranburu.
V tube heatu je Royden Bryson preživel v luknji več časa kot Damien Hobgood in napredoval v naslednji heat s svojo prvo 10-ko v življenju:
"Nevermind the World Tour, that was my first perfect 10 even in a
provincial contest. It’s a bit of a blur but I just
remember taking off and pulling into the first section and watching the
whole wave kind of slow up like it was standing still. I just kept
going and going and then I think I did a turn and got another little
barrel."
Bryson je desetko dodal k 9.73 in Hobgood je kljub ocenama 8.83 in 8.43 izpadel.
Prav tako pa je bil vesek Bask Aritz Aranburu, ki je zaradi poškodbe gležnja zamudil polovico svoje prve sezone na touru. V drugem krogu je premagal Chris
Warda:
“I’ve been waiting for this contest all year. I was hoping to be better for this event because I have been injured.
I’m feeling alright so let’s just see what I can do in the next round.
It’s really important for me to do really well here as a present for my
people. They’ve supported me throughout the whole year, even with my
injury. For me to do well here in front of them would be a really good
present so I am going to try my best.”
Kaj se še lahko zgodi danes?
