Sunday started with a 9am meeting where it was decided that Bakio would be the competition site for the day, so after getting boats onto the car and everything packed up we headed over the mountain to see what the conditions were like.

There was a strong cross – onshore breeze blowing at Bakio and the sun from Saturday had been replaced by clouds, so not much opportunity to top up the tan today.

The day started with the IC heats that had been postponed from the night before, Jonny went through his heat comfortably and left him in the semis. Next up for us was the Junior Semis. Andy was up first against Philip Watson from England and 2 of the Basque juniors. Andy surfed well in his heat and finished 2^nd which put him through to the final along with Philip. Corin was up next and was up against another 2 Basque juniors, but won his heat comfortably putting both NI juniors in the final against Philip Watson and Ibon Agirrezabalaga from the Basque Country. After a great heat with great surfing from all 4 Juniors the wait was on for the final results.

In the meantime, Jonny was unlucky to be knocked out of the Open HP in a heat against Darren Bason and Dan Green from England and Mikel Arce from the Basque Country. Darren and Mikel went through to the final with Edu Etxeberria and Chris Harvey.

Jonny was back up again for his Semi Final in the IC and this time the scores went Jonny’s way with him getting through to the final with Darren, Edu and Aritz Fernandez from the Basque Country.

The Ladies final took place with Tamsin Green finishing in 1^st place in front of 3 of the Basque Ladies and then it was down to the mens finals.

The Open IC finals were up next and after an exciting heat with all 4 men surfing well, the final hooter went and it was just the Open HP to run before finding out how the NI Juniors and Jonny finished.

Another quick session in Mundaka that evening finished the weekend perfectly and left us all happy that we had traveled. An early start in the morning meant that everyone had an early night to catch the flight from Santander.

Thanks to all the organisers for a great competition.
