"That was my first wave of the session pretty much," Pires explained. "I had a big wipeout on a left before. The waves were pumping at Supertubes. The day before this one I was out at Carcavelos and it was heavier than this. The waves have been pumping in Portugal! It was all so good until I hurt myself on another epic morning session on Saturday. Pulled a ligament on my left knee and I'm in doubt for the next WCT event in Rio."
