RIP- Andy Irons (1978–2010)

The Surf world was robbed of one of the most decorated and gifted riders of the sport last month along with a native son to Kauai, Andy Irons.  At the young age of 32, Irons had supplanted himself as a 3-time World Champion and was considered by many of surf culture as a spirited competitor, brother and true friend. 

Here is a picture taken from my cousin's wedding-- Jared pictured with Andy and his brother Bruce.
