		The estuary at Mundaka is choked with fine particulates, sand to you and I, the result of eons of relentless erosion, through which the river winds its inexorable way to the ocean.
		The streets in Mundaka are a confusing mess of one-ways and alleys, but if you can navigate your way to the church parking lot in the middle of town overlooking the break and find a spot, consider yourself blessed.
		Mundaka Surf Shop (00 34 94 687 67 21, e-mail: mundsurf@jet.es), just down the road from the overlook, has everything surf related you're likely to need.

	Surf’s not up: competition cancelled after dredging destroys famous wave - [Sunday Herald] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Until now Mundaka, northeast of Bilbao, was one of the world’s 10 best surf spots, famous for the powerful and up to 200 feet long tunnel wave which broke at the mouth of the Guernica Estuary, the gateway to the Unesco-declared Urdaibai biosphere reserve.
		Mundaka Surf Taldea has urged the town’s local authorities to take a stance to ensure the environment of the Urdaibai biosphere reserve is protected.
		While some local residents at Mundaka seem unconcerned about the loss of the wave, many are clearly worried that a Basque government law of 1998 made to protect the Urdaibai biosphere has not been fully enforced.

		Mundaka, like many other world class waves, is known for its flat spells.
		Men have been known to go crazy in the little village after drinking too-strong coffees for weeks, looking down at arguably the most perfect left sandbar in the world, just sitting there, waiting for swell.
		The winter saw only two good days, and the normally supershallow peak is buried under 12 feet of water.

		This year, the Mundaka leg of the Billabong Pro championship has been cancelled because the wave, known as the best "left-hand" in Europe, has vanished.
		Mundaka lies on a river estuary, wedged between the rocky forest-covered mountains and the sea.
		Guillermo Lecumberri, spokesman of the Mundaka Surf Club, said 260,000 cubic metres were dredged from the estuary in 2003, about four times as much as in previous years.

	Mundaka event's 'not fair': MacDonald - Breaking News - Sport - Breaking News
		A devastated Phil MacDonald has questioned Mundaka's place on the world championship and says its fickle conditions are "not fair".
		MacDonald lists fellow NSW surfer Hedge as one of his inspirations and was clearly feeling for his good friend after surviving arguably the worst Mundaka conditions since competition started on October 3.
		"Mundaka is an amazing wave but I just think, as far as competitions running and running a CT (tour event) here, it's pretty hard to get the tides and the swell mixed into the same system."

		Both are now best accessible in the Bibliotheca Indica, where Dr. Roer has published the text, the commentary by Sankara, a gloss by Ânandagñâna, and an English translation with notes.
		The title is all the more strange because Mundaka, in its commonest acceptation, is used as a term of reproach for Buddhist mendicants, who are called 'Shavelings,' in opposition to the Brâhmans, who dress their hair carefully, and often display by its peculiar arrangement either their family or their rank.
		Yet, for that very reason, it seems impossible that this should be the origin of the name, unless we suppose that it was the work of a man who was, in one sense, a Mundaka, and yet faithful to the Brahmanic law.
