He is a huge inspiration to me and for not knowing him I feel all the energy good, bad and ugly that surrounded him. I have nothing but respect here. Just wondering. Thanks alot and RIP Andy.
jesus your full of the feel good spirit!! not everyone surfs for the same reason, most people i imagine surf because of that feeling you get when on a wave, but i don't think it's your place to tell anyone why they should surf! and if they just started surfing, likelihood is they would not have heard of AI, AI was and always will be a surfing legend but doesn''t mean the whole surfing population across the world knew of him!
AI is a hero who battled with alcohol and addiction like so many others that you kooks who say shit that isn't true have prevented from helping others because of how you judge others instead of looking in the mirror and realizing that you don't even come close to comparing to them as humans despite their problems. Andy's fast living didn't help his heart but wouldn't have killed him without heart disease, period. Judgemental people like you are the reason so many people who could help peps can't
from the way he's just hanging there trying to pin drop, I'd wonder if his leash didn't hang him out to dry... just in time for that lip to really fatten up and grab'em. He went feet first and the board went tail first. Just goes to show, leashes weren't meant to save lives as they sometimes do.
He didn't fucking die from painkillers, he was an addict just like half of your heros if your heros are surfers who charge and are famous for it. I could name four world champs and half the mavs crew that are in recovery.
If he died by surfing a massive wave and getting fatally wounded on a reef or something and then said that this wave was his worst there would be so much irony
He had a cardiac arrest because an artery was blocked. Another cause was “acute mixed drug ingestion." He never had Dengue Fever, but all of this doesn't matter. He was an amazing surfer and a good role model. I feel like he was the most progressive and helped out the surfing community in a positive way.
Andy was fucking fearless! He just grabs another board and paddles straight back out, what a legend. RIP
"Grabbed another board and paddle back out, because the waves were going off." This fuckin' guy...
Herman Melville t-levels through the roof
Make the difficult yet necessary decision to wrap up your stay here on earth
grabs another board and gets out there.. the waves were firing.. lol
that's what separates the men from the boys, and it applies to more than just surfing.
i wouldve been dead
Respect & Rest in Peace Andy! Mahalo for inspiring me.
I surfed there in 87...scariest most humbling place ever been in my life. Don't miss it at all
RIP legend, not forgotten
i remember this from lost across america one of the best surf vids
AI Forever!! No one pushed the limits like this brahdah!!
R.I.P.
miss this legend
How can someone EVER survive that wipeout??? This is mental...
And gets another board because the waves were going off
Best surfer ever! RIP Andy Irons.
He managed to go up a bit and not land under the lip! Looks like he landed on the foam ball and that saved him from getting drilled into the reef!
"I came in and grabbed another board and paddled back out, the waves were going off" lmao this fuckin guy...
Who today is like Andy Irons? People seem more about social media klout than just charging like he was into
Nobody. And nobody ever will be like him. 1of1 brotha
Rip Andy irons u will be missed

The most powerful hand! God bless AI greatest surfer ever
Those sunglasses are sweet
fvck! "blasted out into the flats" so gnarly
i just realized he was actually sponsored by vonzipper so its their version.
That's a bomb even by North Shore standards.
‘Yeah so anyway, my board broke into 4 pieces’

thank you andy for surfing the best waves
He didn't fucking die from painkillers, he was an addict just like half of your heros if your heros are surfers who charge and are famous for it. I could name four world champs and half the mavs crew that are in recovery.

dengie fever, RIP
Falling on a wave that big and hollow with the reef right right under and living to tell the tale is not for anyone..!
Dog White to quote mark foo!:)
We need a surfer like him for president! RIP Andy!
Andy was one of the greatest surfers, if not the best. However, he was an incredibly flawed human being.
A Ten. Torturously done in a short amount of time !
AI FOREVER
Miss Andy
Didn't this wave get a two page spread in surfing mag?
this would have instantly killed any normal human being. #AIFOREVER
Yeah checked Von zipper out awhile ago and they were all sold out, but oakley defenetly has them but they are custom made
what is it like, 7-8 feet of water? It’s amazing how these dudes take a wave like that and don’t get shredded by the reef.
