Truly awe inspiring! It’s hard to believe we’ll never see a surfer who draws the same beautiful lines on a wave that Andy Irons did. It’s like losing a great musician or artist; he placed his surfboard in situations that make us all wish we surfed like him. A legend amongst the greatest. RIP Andy Irons – Your surfing lives on for all in images like these.
The ultimate power-style-master. Gone. Mythological. “Those who are dead, are not dead, they’re just living in my head”—Coldplay. That one jokes me up nowadays… Many thanks Travis, Sherm, et al @ SURFING. Flame would be so stoked with this tribute.
Andy was the one guy who changed the way we looked at surfing. No one was ever again compared to Kelly once he came on the scene. He was a solid surfer. Power,Style,Grace,and a hunger to be the best. Well miss you brother…
Thanks Surfing Mag crew. That was beautiful and AI will be forever be a Hero and Raw Talent for many to look to for years to come. RIP A.I your life gave us so many amazing memories.
