Andy Irons functioned at a different level than everybody else. At the beach, he was all smiles. But as soon as he paddled out for a heat, he switched to killer instinct. Andy Irons was a wild, unorthodox, rock star, power surfer with a fearless, raw talent. He will always be remembered for being a ferocious and radical free surfer, and a ruthless competitor with a daunting dark side.
