La tappa di Mundaka, località della regione dell'Euskadi è stata vinta da Bobby Martinez, specialmente nell'ultima giornata in una forma strepitosa.
Quest'anno la sinistra di Mundaka non ha regalato onde grossissime, anzi la manifestazione è stata sospesa diverse volte in attesa di condizioni migliori.
Senza la presenza nelle semifinali di Andy Irons e Taj Burrow, beffato per un punto da Dean Morrison, eliminati nei quarti Kelly Slater dopo aver vinto la semifinale contro l'australiano Joel Parkinson accumula punti prezionsi per vincere il suo ottavo titolo mondiale.
