Tribute to Andy Irons - "A Defining Moment"

[@sandyovals]

A.I. was a legend, one of the best to ever do it. He looked so happy

[@thomasjones6204]

A true legend with a terribly sad ending

[@mattgurin6168]

Tragic indeed. Lot's of great memories of him and Bruce when I lived in Kauai, years full of wonderful memories. RIP

[@MrBondibeach]

Treasure those special memories and thank you for sharing

[@mattgurin6168]

@@MrBondibeach Believe me SE, I do. I was very fortunate to have a residence on the North Shore of Kauai in wainiha Valley. When Bruce and Andy were young teenagers they were dominating, the sessions at Kalihiwai stand out the most. It was a very special time over the course of 10 yrs. Kauai is indescribable , and such an incredible season of life

[@ryw9582]

He was something else

[@MrBondibeach]

100%

[@danodonnell7218]

Hopefully he found that peace of mind 🙏🙏🙏

My inspiration of surfing.

Legend Forever AI

[@jimpaull731]

It was a honor just to surf the same beaches as the "iron"

[@MrBondibeach]

@@jimpaull731as Andy would say fuur shuure!

[@dianamx4164]

Siempre estaba viendo surfear a él y a Kelly Slater. Eran los dos mejores. Qué buenos recuerdos!!

[@ppg4667]

The only one to ever whoop Slater. Guy's a fckn LEGEND

[@MrBondibeach]

100% man

[@jimpaull731]

A legend! , , but you can't help wonder,,

[@frankbeans5921]

Nope he had his time. The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.

[@jimpaull731]

Frank Beans= I can't agree with that. If he got clean and chose to climb back on the saddle he would have come back as a "New surfer". Paul did a extraordinary turn around after he shed Sal.

If you got it, you got it

[@kelliebrooks9094]

[@laniakea777]

[@jimpaull731]

SE Surf= Just know you are a legend by keeping a great legend remembered.

[@jimpaull731]

I love all my surfer brah's and I never want to see them down

[@clarkewi]

An entertaining character as well as a great champion. And an adonis.

[@jimpaull731]

Wow, thats kinda creepy how you categorized him in some "father love Mythology" symbol. He was none of that. You should analyze before you type.

[@clarkewi]

@@jimpaull731 You don't think Andy was entertaining? You don't think he was a great champion? You don't think he looked like a Greek statue?

[@jimpaull731]

I think you chose your words intently and your rebuttal is lame.

[@clarkewi]

@@jimpaull731 I think your panties are in a wad.

Rip Van Hippy - African X Files...

[@MrBondibeach]

not sure man, it was in the Jack McCoy doco Blue Horizon soundtack

[@bipolatelly9806]

(sniff)

[@flbizowner9384]

Andy resembles Kevin Costner

[@LyranInjoy]

Andy was such a great example for the kids (except for the heroin drug addiction and the negative narcissistic selfish mind set). 😆

[@MrBondibeach]

Check out his doco made by Lindy and Bruce for an insight into those issue

[@Zepster77]

Still radder & more style than Slater. Despite Kelly being the GOAT

[@georgenieuwoudt8070]

Objectively, yes.

[@xwhite2020]

Absolutely.

[@wagnersilva2494]

Bacana

[@badlourising]

There is no best....

[@brendan3008]

Andy would go,mainly because he was cooked off his brain 24/7 on amphetamines. Technically he should be stripped of any titles like all drug cheats.

[@squarecracker]

you just dont understand how things are done in hawa-e
