Andy Irons (1978-2010)

Son. Brother. Husband. Expectant Father. Friend. Surfer.


One of the legendary surfers, Andy Irons, passed away this week. I, for one, am deeply saddened. I do not swim nor know how to surf. But, I appreciated Irons' athleticism as well as his big heart (on and off the surfboard).

I have a long list of professional athletes that I would like to meet. In October of last year, I got to meet Andy Irons at a signing at an AT&T store in Costa Mesa. I remember getting there very early to secure a place in line and was excited to be first in line.

I had a few items to sign. He asked me quite a few questions as well as answering mine. I ended befriending a few other attendees who were all stoked to meet one of the best surfers in the world.

Andy, thank you for taking the time to be there that day. It was a pleasure meeting you!

I just would like to send my deepest condolences to the Irons family, friends and fans. AI, you will be sorely missed!

Here's a list of articles that pay a tribute to such an inspirational human being:
