He was crazy good. And he will be missed by us from Hawaii and from many around the world.

RIP Andy Irons. My condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

A sad day for international surfing.

Big Man - Big Moves. Big Loss

Took small wave power surfing and big boosts from small waves to waves of consequence.

He went through West Oz last year and absolutely smashed everything  - amazing freesurfing. I saw him shred North Point. Huge respect from locals here which is rare.

Gee! I didn't think anyone in this forum would even know who he was. Funny thing was he would always wave the Hawaiian flag after a win.

RIP Eddie would go - Andy would go for it.
