BILLABONG PRO MUNDUKA ROUND TWO UNDERWAY NOW

MUNDAKA, Basque Country, Northern Spain (Sunday, October 8, 2006) – There has been a long wait for the tide to become more favourable this morning and as conditions begin to improve organisers of the Billabong Pro Mundaka have sent out round two, heat eight containing Fred Patacchia (HAW) and Mikael Picon (FRA).

With one to two metre (three to five feet) waves pulsing into the legendary Mundaka arena there will be an excellent serve of action on offer today with the event aiming to head into round three later today.

There is hope that like yesterday the waves will increase in size throughout the day.

Stay tuned to www.billabongpro.com or www.aspworldtour.com for all the LIVE action.
