Exactly one week ago, Moroccan Ramzi Boukhiam emerged from the water in Pipe with a heavy load, unable to put any weight on his feet because he had injured his ankle while surfing the wave, Stab reported.
The WSL alerted Carlos Muñoz that he might have a chance to surf the Billabong Pro Pipe and everyone was put on alert.
Meanwhile, the Moroccan chose to remain silent; he did not say anything on social media or to the press, he did not upload a story or post anything on his feed during these days.
His latest post is very optimistic, with a classic photo of his quiver in Hawaiian lands. He published it precisely a week ago, before the accident.
The assumption of what is happening is pretty easy: Waiting until the last minute to see if he surfs or not. Boukhiam is extremely athletic and can be confident of healing quickly.
He is faced with the big question: heal and be fine for Sunset or take risks and possibly get worse at Pipe or for the rest of the season. Another important issue in this race against time is that the more days it takes to start the tournament, the more time the Moroccan gains and the forecast shows swell for the first days of February, which plays in his favor.
At the WSL gala which took place last night, Ramzi was present wearing an orthopedic boot that reached up to his thigh, as DUKE could see the Moroccan was limping as he walked.
Meanwhile, Cali Muñoz is waiting. Everything seems to indicate that the Costa Rican has already traveled to Mecca, he turns 30 tomorrow and on social media he showed that he celebrated in advance.
The Costa Rican does not like the situation of waiting for injuries, but he earned the spot as the first replacement and will be attentive in Hawaii.
The Billabong Pro Pipe begins its waiting period on January 29 and runs through February 10. In the event that Boukhiam
