- Five years ago we lost but have not forgotten Andy Irons. Andy's legacy lives and gains significance as time carries on. We took four of Andy's boards to the Mentawai's and had Dane Reynolds, Noa Deane and Kolohe Andino pay homage. But first a quick reminder of what Mr Irons could do on a surfboard.

To this day the best surfing I've ever seen in my life is Andy at Tunnel's 2001. I got to talk to him for like 45 minutes at the restaurant I was working as a bartender around that time, his boys were all raging but he was sitting at the bar solo looking glum, asked if he was alright it turns out he had just broken up with his girl who I had known from Cali, always feel blessed I had that chance to get to know him just a little bit. Just two dudes talking about girls and life and shit, was pretty dope. RIP bruddah.
I like this story. Real.
Thats a good story.
After watching all their footage right after seeing the Andy clips the difference in power is so evident. Kolohe threw down some nice hacks for sure, they were all ripping but Andy could hit the lip so fucking hard. Just crazy.
Kolohe bh looks more like taj's. In power i think only dane could match him, but instyle nobody could, only bruce i.
I was thinking the same thing. Andy is a beast out there. Moving like a bullet and tearing shit up!! Holly F*#%
Aloha Andy from the beaver bird dog of hanalei kaleo kaden your bradda always pinetrees boys nsb
You can see the difference in kolohes surfing after filming for this, so much more power
Its amazing the impact someone can have on you that you've never met or even spoken to. Just larger than life people who inspire and create hope for those around them. Andy had his demons, as everyone does, but he was above all a source of inspiration and courage.
shoulda got ethan ewing to do it, closest style to andys. that would have been sick
Just watching this again 400th time
Fuck what a fucking legend
Same lol
Same here brother !
Definition of Savage!!!! No offense to the air guys but, damn his surfing was raw as F.
13 years later I'm still blown away he's gone.
Kolohe was killlllling it... yewww AI
Still watch this every now and again. Love you Andy
Me too🙌🏻
@@jeepgrl83 Same…prob about every 3 months or so I’ll be looking up Andy interviews and footage just to keep it real. He was Tha man💪💪🤟🤟❤️
Watching it today man. Thank you Andy, thank you Bruce and thank you to the boys honoring him
watching it again myself haha
It’s crazy how sick AI was. Style, power, progression. Even Kelly looked robotic compared to him. That’s saying a lot!
Andy’s style was so much better than the current crop who do nothing but 360s .
five years later? I think of him every day
tough to watch..
Love watching the old clips but I had to do it with the volume down due to the ridiculous amount of vulgarity, come on gentleman step up your game.
2024 now
Andy's still rippin
Did anyone ever forget him
AI was and always will be what surfing is all about. And he is still a big influence for up and coming surfers like Ethan Ewing. I used to watch his video parts on Revolation and the lost videos to get pumped, and I still do.
Thank you. Loved watching that. Rest In Peace Andy.. carry on Bruce🤙❤️
Why does noa say shit in every sentence
Rip to a legend❤️
Kolohe killed it! Far and away looked the most comfortable and powerful of all three. Andy would think so too.🤘
..."and you know...dont be a pussy" hahaha ..Andy , Eddie & The Duke would have been cracking up at that one.
Would've loved to see Ethan Ewing, Seabass, N Slater!!!
At the end of the day the perks took over and shyt just never went back to normal even though it wasn't a normal life these guys were living shyt.. gettin shyt faced and traveling the world and hitting beach everyday is the fukin life
Noa deanes sections in this were cringey... as shit
Noa deanes interviews kinda ruined the mood
Lacking class unlike others bru
Yeah i agree. "I'm just gonna get really angry and smash shit." Pretty corny, thats not andy
Totally wrong. Noa is way closer to Andy in personality than any of the other lads. He sounds like him and surfs a bit like him
@@themagikian4237I think you're right bro. He's annoying in the vid, but a real one nonetheless.
Sorry guys, but none of you come remotely close to Andy. And to think you'll get even halfway there is wishful thinking. Andy chose different lines, different timing, savant consciousness, beyond advanced ergonomics and body dynamics that are from an upper echelon of existence. He was the genius of all genius short board surfers, inimitable and pure raw perfection, like the Michael Angelo of surfing style. He is the icon of shredding. I was there and witnessed him growing up and changing surfing forever, forever! And Bruce was a big part of that formula. Andy may be gone in one form, but he lives in every single one of us who witnessed him in action and every person he influences and touches forever more through videos and movies. Every time I ever watched him surf in person here in Hawaii I just thought, how in the history of the Earth could anybody be so good? Andy just is...
stab: we make people pay
1:19 your wrong on that kolohe Ethan Ewing channeled Andy's style but with the gracefulness of parko but his turns aren't as powerful as andy
Why are they saying Andy wouldn't do an air or a blow tail or something of that sort? Yeah Andy bashed the lip harder than everyone in this video, but he also did airs and plenty of other rad skatey type shit from time to time. Kind of stupid , some of the things said in this video. Cringey at points. "Im just gonna get really angry and smash shit." Yeah thats what Andy was thinking...give me a break. I battled with opiate addiction just like Andy, and thats not how is mind was working trust me. Thats a simpleton view from someone who doesn't actually have a clue what Andy was going through trying to explain what they think was going through his mind. If you have to ask why Andy was so good, Then you are blind. Just look at his clips compared to the three surfers in this video , who are the "top" guys right now. His style, his lines, his approach. It LOOKED absolutely amazing. He had a presence on the wave that none of these guys have. He was the fucking man. And doing little tricks is cool, but Andy made just riding down the line look sicker than any of these kids and their tricks.
Andy Irons I see my
Choice and being
A rider of Boards myself both Surf and

Noa’s commentating was sick as fuck

DJ Anthony o ya think.... what a dickhead comment
how's the 3/4 length boardies back in the day... true groundbreaker
Kolohe killed it
Play from 7:00 to 8:24 then skip to 9:03
Thank you Andy
2:03 how is it even possible to hit the lip that hard
ur mom I'm saying
Right!?
you guys should have called jordy or seabatz
Jordy would be way too big for Andys boards.
good heart
Take care of Axel✌
The Best surfer !
Can still feel the power of all those top turns
You can't hear what they are saying and then they BLAST THE MUSIC!
what is the song at 2:18?
Hopefully somone can explain. So ive veen watching andy irons surf videos since i was young. I never understood and still dont why everyone says he was the best surfer in the world. There are so many surfers that can do alot more moves and crazy laybacks like clay marzo or john john and toledo with airs. Im not knocking one bit just really woyld like to know what im missing. Thanks
saying he was the best is an expression of admiration. he had a unique presence, drive and personality which was reflected in his surfing style. hes gone too soon. he won 3 consecutive titles bc of his determination, and explosive consistency. plus he seems pretty gnarly and stoked, wild guy to hang with. sure u can argue many others are technically superior, so go watch their vids then. it wont be power surfing but acrobatics. apples and oranges. whats the point of arguing which tastes better. the mans a legend.
His style is super unique and the guy is a complete legend, I think that his surfing is way more fun to watch than any other modern day surfer
@@MrCow-bk8jp ok so its more of a style over technique and also how the person was. cool to hear of what people consider the best surfer is from different parts of the world. Where i come from if you could do things that others cant do on the same wave you are considered the best.
He's a legend.. way before medina,florence and all that competing in world title
Best ever backside barreler without a doubt. Overall just the complete surfer. Approach, style, power everything. + Radical attack - non-stop. Reminds me of a Ninja surfing.

Athletics- August
Great fkn video!
AI forever
i've always tried to emulate Andy's style of smashing the lip, even if it meant I didn't get as far in competition surfing because everyone else was doing flicky airs and air reverses. Competition surfing has gotten worse. RIP Andy

Danny Macnus: you're just a racist piece of shit. No level of surfing or any other sport rationalises this poor pathetic behaviour of yours. I surfed yesterday with an Asian man. Gave me great tips for Asian surf. Hope I don't see your kind in the water ever. Danny, you're probably just a useless kook. You certainly sound like one.
Turn volume up, because these people dont know how to speak up, then some ear killing death metal comes on and blows your speaker
Nicholas Adriaens lol
