A week in Surfing – RIP Andy Irons

It has been a bit of a crazy week in the world of surfing.

First off, the ASP World Tour hit Puerto Rico and Steph Gilmore was crowned both World Champ and Rip Curl Search Champ Today – what an achievement.

But then within the space of 24 hours the surfing world was turned upside down with the unexpected death of 3 x World Champion Andy Irons.

The Legend that is Andy Irons

We are still finding it hard to belive that such a talented surfer can pass away so young. There are lots of tributes out there on the web and we would like to add our own condolences  to his family and friends in this painful time – and let you guys know our thoughts are with you. Rest in peace, AI, and thank you.

The massive memorial paddle-out in Puerto Rico was a fitting way to give Andy the best send-off from all of his ASP Surfing Tour buddies.

Billabong have released a tribute clip for Andy Irons. There’s not much to say about this… The clip is amazing but it’s definitely sad to watch.
