Andy Irons July 24,1978 – November 2, 2010


In the most heaviest news i've heard in weeks, World Surfing champion Andy Irons has died on route to Hawaii from Puerto Rico after contracting what is believed to be Dengue Fever. To make it heavier Irons’ wife Lindie is due to give birth to their first child within weeks.

Irons began his career on the ASP World Tour in 1998. He went on to collect 20 elite tour victories, four Triple Crown of Surfing Titles and three consecutive ASP World Titles.

He was known for his powerful style, which he combined with a respectable bag of aerial manoeuvres, and was the only surfer to consistently challenge that annoying superman dude, Kelly Slater during the early 2000s.

More news as it comes through here.

A total shock. A total bummer. RIP Any Irons.
