- Andy Irons is known for his big heart, crazy generosity, kindness, fiercely competitive nature, raw surfing ability, pure style and creative power. This Kauai Boy rose to the top of the surfing world and left us devastated by his untimely passing. Tragic loss. Sincere condolences to his wife Lyndie, his brother and parents, his family and close friends. We respect, admire and honor Andy. Rest in Love
"To me, style is smooth, fast, easy to watch on your eyes. Doesn't give you a headache watching. It can be one of the best Surfers in the world, and if you don't have a style I don't really wanna watch them. To me, it's someone that's smooth and makes a hard situation look easy and pulls it off with grace." -Andy Irons
Enjoy some epic footage of Andy ripping during the 2000 OP Pro Boat Trip Challenge, Mentawai Islands. Listen to Andy discuss the event, his friends (the competitors) and the possible future of a new pro surfing format. This is a must-watch surf clip! Aloha

"style that doesn't give you a headache". No wonder I liked Andy so much.
whoever found this and posted ...thank you
Thank you. Not found, just released for the first time. We were cinematographers on the trip and have these, and many more, unseen archives.
Love surfing and Watching and listening to Andy
Classic Hawaiian style. Smooth and effortless. Powerful and humble. Make the difficult look easy.
So far ahead of his time. So effortless. Pine Tree's4eva
Yes Kauai! Always produces legends. Represent!
Probably a 90s thing but the way he absolutely KO'd the lip with the front 3 feet of his board.... just a joy to watch 💣
Agreed. Still the best to this day.
The layback!
the perfect surfer, super style, super radical. Aloha Bruddah
Yes. Definitely 🤙🤙
Andy ❤ Forever. Thanks for sharing!!
Favourite surfer ever.....thx for the video man.....good to see andy surf......first time i see those footage....big mauruuru from tahiti
Fuck his backhand was good, could watch Andy surf all day
Still the benchmark!
Hes still best of all time
Last clip was golden
Rad & hard style
His surfing 🏄♂️ was smooth and free and effortless .RIP Andy
Still gets to me. I surfed with him at Pinetrees on Kauaii right before this trip. He’d flunked out his first year on tour and was just floating, regrouping, keeping the fire going. We paddled for the same wave and he had a look in his eye I haven’t seen since; I call the ‘eye of the tiger’. I knew if he got his act together he’d be a force, a wrecking ball, and he did, and he was. He went on to win three world titles right after and put the absolute hammer down on king Kelly. A memory I’ll always cherish. To see Sunny at his peak, just sad now. Shooting stars burn the brightest, but they’re not meant to last. R.I.P. Andy and I hope Sunny finally has peace. Much love from Puna.🤙🏼🤙🏼🌊🏄🏼🌴🌋
John, so appreciate your insight about Andy during this time. Andy had such an amazing fire inside him and the way he was able to access it and turn it on was something to behold. Thanks again for the contribution to this video of AI- your words enhance the legacy of The Great Andy Irons. Aloha. Respect.
I love what he had to say about style, that is so true.
I miss him…. I miss cheering for him in comps… i miss watching him surf… my favorite surfer! Always will be..
Yes. Thank you for the honest and heartfelt comment. Andy left us too soon. Sincere Condolences to his son Axel, his wife, family and friends 💛
That was a treat getting to watch. Timeless style and attitude. One in a billion kind of guy. Can’t believe it’s been 12 years, prayers for his family tonight. Gone too soon. A.I. forever!
The instinctive ability to put him and the board anywhere he wants is timeless. Dig the rail, slow it down and make it easy. Absolutely fun to watch. Makes you want to surf. Nothing overly constructive just natural flow. Can’t see another A.I again.
Truly a powerful and stylish surfer. I could watch this guy all day long, day after day. We all miss him!!
Love Andy's comments on what a competitive heat should be. Machete moment was gold too 🤙
Agree. THE WSL could learn something here. Or else a new tour will rise up and the WSL will be history. Need to get the best guys in the best waves- period.
I had never seen this interview or this footage before. Thanks for sharing. AI forever!
Happy to get this out! We have plenty more unseen footage to release.
Axel, your dad is awesome.
💛💛💛
Axel, you are awesome!
Thanks for the encouraging comment. Awesome!
One of my best memories was watching Axel learning to surf at the pier. Little dude was stoked!
Andy was the man
Dude, I forgot how good AI was! so stylie!
Occy was doing airs on this trip
Coming soon! Stay tuned Curtis.
Best style ever. Andy ruled it.
Agree. So smooth, creative and brash at the same time. A radical combination.
More Andy irons vids plzzz thx for the last two
Stoked! Yes… we will keep the vidz coming. Mahalo 🤙
A gift to watch! AI Forever 🤙
I literally have not been that stoked in so many years when in 28 seconds into the video Andy does that tube and then fades and waits and then just gets that awesome head dip it's so rad
Thanks for bringing him back, if even for a little while.
It is an honor for us to release this... and other footage will come out in the near future.
Back in the 80’s and 90’s HSF amateur circuit on Kaua’i…..the Irons bros owned it…..of course
Guaranteed!
@@Nalu_TV KAUAIUNDERGROUND In da hale! Love your work Hawaiian!
Awesomeness yeeeeeeeees forever!!!!!!!!!
Andy Forever
There's nobody easier on the eyes than A.I.
Legend
Thank you for sharing these amazing moment! The interview, the action and the cinematography are top notch!!!
Mahalo Jason!
Such amazing power and style. The heats and competition should all be done like this. 👍
Agree. Pro surfing could be way better.
Andy shredder irons😉. RIP bro✌️❤️
This is so sick!
Mahalo! RIP Andy 💛
R.I.P. LEGEND 🖤🙏
It's a testament to Andy's character that as exceptional as he was, as fierce a competitor, and a cold blooded killer, at heart he was just one of the boys.
Yes. So down to earth.
Was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Plenty more to come.
Maybe the saddest death in surfing history. Has he lived, he might have been bigger than Kelly! He was a freakin’ great surfer!!
Respect to innovative genius. RIP Champ
This is epic! RIP Andy
nice to see andy relaxed and having a good time, ripping
Thank you Nalu! Great share! Legends never die.
This is so cool
A.I Forever!
🤙🤙
Loved you man
that little swivel in the barrel holy fuck no one does that shit any more
Greatest short board surfer of all time, imo. Nobody had or has style to match.
Andy had such a primal connection to the natural ocean surroundings and it lit his surfing on fire. He is unmatched in his hard core approach to riding waves. Respect.
Being a Puerto Rrican, on youtube, sometimes I like to listen to 70s salsa, old flamenco, surf videos, history, and many more, but this little clip has to be my favorite on TH-cam. Sick style power etc. When I first saw Andy I was stoked style and grace were back in surfing. Him Bruce and Dane Reynolds got me stoked again. I was always stoked with my surfing and ignored contest because I just wanted more waves. Contest are so funny now that they are boring. The contests do help the surfers when they free surf sometimes.
Puerto Rican?
1st.... I love surfing in P.R.
Especially east of San Juan ....
The food. The people. The weather. The culture.
2nd ... I think most professionals in all professional sports are changing. Look at baseball. MLB players would never have a laugh with the visting teams. Now, they're all buddy buddy. I think it's because they know they are in a VERY VERY VERY exclusive club being the best of the best of the best. How is Pudge Rodriguez supposed to not like A-Rod or Jetter ONLY because they're Yankees or David Ortiz because he's a Red Sox? These surfers like hanging out with each other much more than stink eye'n each other.
R.I.P. Andy and basically Sunny, too.
@@francus7227 Thank you.
Thanks for uploading! I guess we all miss that guy and his surfing!
If there was anyone who could walk on water, Andy could.
Best era of surfing in my opinion, way better style than the air game these days. I wonder what Andy would be doing with the twin fin trend.
Competitive surfing is absolute rubbish nowadays.
ANDY!!!!!!
I often wonder what Jesus and Andy talk about. Much Love and Aloha 🤙🏼
Rip leyend
There are champions and champions.
Nowadays with the new format ending at Tres( Cali ) anyone can be a world champ in a wave with no consequences and doing a type of surfing were they seem to be electrocuted 👎
" Styles that actually give you a headache "
R.I.P MR Andy Irons, your surfing and your charisma will live on forever.
Still can't get over Andy's passing...
Such a waste of talent & energy...
Very sad indeed...
Was chill around those machetes
Right!?
ALOHA 🌊
RIP Andy
