Our Portugese star has been lighting up the lineup at Trestles for this year's Hurley Pro.  Chilli and Tiago have been working closely for the past two years under Project Black.  He is the only surfer on tour who doesn't use a traction pad! Cool, huh?

THE LADIES MAN

No photos please… obrigado

Meet Tiago Pires, the best surfer ever to come out of Portugal. And we ain't just saying that because he rides the Chilli's. Tiago's been on tour for a couple of years now and has been fetching some solid results. At the end of last season he blew his neck out pretty badly and missed the Pipe Masters. Unable to surf he took the opportunity to visit some different places and new faces. "I vacationed in Oslo and Moscow," he told us. "Have you been? Oh my god! The women.… I will take you there!" After some major soul repair Tiago began training with the Portugese Rugby Team. These days he's fitter than ever and in Oz gearing up for a big reuslt at Bells Beach where he'll be riding the Chilli Step Down. To learn more about Tiago check out his ASP profile, ladies can find him on myspace.
