RIP ANDY IRONS

Official Statement: HONOLULU - (November 2, 2010) -- The world of surfing mourns an incredibly sad loss today with the news that Hawaii's Andy Irons has died. Andy was a beloved husband, and a true champion. Irons, 32,withdrew from a professional surfing event in Puerto Rico last weekend due to illness and passed away during a layover en-route to his home in Kauai, Hawaii. He had reportedly been battling with dengue fever, a viral disease. At this time the family thanks his friends and fans for their support,and asks that the community respect its privacy. The family also asks to not be contacted so their focus can remain on one another during this time of profound loss.



It is with deep sadness that Billabong has learned of the news of Andy Irons’ passing. Andy was one of the greatest surfers of our time. More than that, he was a much loved son, a devoted husband and a soon-to-be father. The thoughts of all Billabong employees worldwide are with wife Lyndie and Andy’s family at this most devastating time.

Back on the water

Wake Surfing

I got a new Malibu 23LSV last month and the boat has been amazing. I hurt my shoulder a couple weeks ago on that quarter pipe hit so we have been wake surfing a bunch over the last week or so. The surf wake is insane.

The weather was good a couple days ago so I went out to Rusty's for a ride and to shoot with Bill Doster. Fun day, Rattray was going to ride with us but he had to go get a bunch of stitches because a small home improvement accident, but he is coming over today to ride. The weather has turned cold and windy again but we got a ok line on the other side of the lake. I have never used my wetsuit so much in one Orlando winter before.

Hard Crash

So awhile back I talked about the importance of a life jacket and told you about a hard crash on a BS 5. I was out riding with Watson last night and managed to take pretty close to the same crash but got it on video, this time with a vest. The numbness only lasted for a couple seconds this time and the vest had me on top of the water in no time.
