i have this dream over and over...over the years. i walk up this stream ..it's so peaceful and calm like i've never felt before. i walk up to this surf break...behind it are trees. to the right of it are trees, to the left of it are trees and there's a small strand of beach in front. the waves are pure perfect A frame wave after wave...about 6-8 feet...and the water...the water is crystal clear. everytime i wake up from this dream...i believe this is my heaven. i believe andy is there surfing it

In 1997, I meet Andy at teahupoo. Me and my dad have taxi boat for the first contest at Teahupoo and Andy win. RIP bro

I arrived in Hawaii in January of 2006 and I didnt have a clue about surfing. But I started following it and started surfing myself. Andy and Bruce were my favorite surfers. I know kelly slater is the best surfer ever but I loved the Irons style, the quick HOLY CRAP !did you see that! style.RIP in heaven where there is always epic waves.

There was no way I was going to cry... then Bruce at the end... fuck...

almost 13 years...we'll never forget

Andy was my biggest surfing mentor and a very close friend with my family, love you Andy, we will never forget you, Rest In Paradise

this video is great , i believe andy's spirit is still surfing and his passion for life and people will live on in his family .

"How do you explain Andy, you know? I mean he would surf like a cat on acid." - Occy lol

Bruce had me crying.

my friends and i who love and care about Andy Irons soo much we would throw a b-day party and watch videos of Andy Irons enough said R.I.P. Andy Irons ( July 24, 1978 - November 2, 2010) your always been my favorite Surfer

I never met Andy I wish like hell I had from what I’ve watched his surfing was flawless and from what I’ve read his friendship was endless REST PEACEFULLY ANDY AND I NO YOUR WIFE, SON, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS MISS YOU BEYOND WHAT I CAN PUT INTO WORDS because it’s even hard for me to let you no how much I miss you and like I saw I never even met you but watched you surf every chance I got thru TV internet and to this day I watch you surf and will to the day I’m gone, then I might be lucky enough to met you on the other side that’s what I pray for Andy much Love and Respect to you and God please bless all of Andy’s loved ones because I no there still going thru it.

To this day, we miss you, Andy...❤️

Been a year and im still as sad as day 1 miss you bro you were a legend i always looked up to you and when i surfed i wished to be as good as you one day, but than i finally realized that was impossile R.I.P

Esse é inesquecível teahhupooo era dele quanto maior pra ele era melhor!!!😢

now that his ashes are spread a part of him will always be in the water with us whether its hugging, or laughing, or tears of joy on the gnarliest wave u ever rode

He is the reason I started surfing. Rip Andy.

dude, see bruce irons crying just made me cry like a baby. Andy, forever.

The best backside surfing I ever saw, all set up with that bottom turn that saw him travelling back up the face square, completely facing the wave which then meant he developed some real body torque to whip power the off the lip. An icon of surfing. There’s a ton of great surfers, but it’s the rare few that are remembered across sporting categories. If you were to show a freshly landed alien what surfing was it’d have to be Andy. Vale Andy Irons.

love this video ,but such a loss of a awesome person . i think he is still there in spirit surfing

awesome ,insight into the challengers off brilliance ,bipolar disorder ,still allot or unknown in that area ,spiritual attacks ,spiritual discernment and gifting ,being open in the spirit world is largely unaccepted in mental health circles , understanding the realm or spirits is supernatural ,i believe ANDY WAS open to that ?appreciate the tribute beautiful

Jesus I miss you Andy. Fuck man........tears everyday brother......Im glad you are ok.......fuck man........tears brother....tears.

what a super cool guy he was... so real.. so down to earth. It's awesome that he left behind a massive legacy: 4 pipe masters, 3 world titles in a row!! And he charged everything!

A.I. Forever. The Greatest Surfer of All Time. May you rest in peace King.

Surfing’s biggest loss ! I love how he rode bigger boards makes you flow more with the wave as he was so stylish!!!!

Some things should never happen. Andy Irons passing at such a young age is one of them.

this song will forever remind me to fight addiction, Andy you are an inspiration in life and death, rest in peace brother

Best regular backside of the surf history!!!

i started weeping like a baby at the end. and i now that he wants all of us to catch all the waves we can thinking if i could do this for andy i will try to do my best for everything ill appreciate everything that comes my way,

Andy irons was the real big Z of the surfing world, loved by many RIP

Heavy. Should not be a dry eye in the house after watching that. Thanks to all of those in the vid for sharing their storys and feelings about Andy.

What a beautifully made tribute. Timeless surfing and to see how many lives he impacted for the better is awe inspiring. AI forever

never forgot andy this video gives me chronic goosbumps everytime i watch it i met him once at the volcom house in hawaii and seen him surf there a couple times, never forgot the time he poured a beer on my mate for saying yeah bra' to him. favourite surfer of all time and not just because he passed R.I.P A.I

It's amazing! I never met the guy, but have a strong affiliation with him. If ppl like me can feel strong ripple effects of his character.. I can only imagine how hard his passing was to his close friends and family. Love.. Peace.....

I was frothing on Andy's surfing and then Bruce made me cry! R.I.P Andy

this is the reason why i love this sport, dedication love this guy, true beautiful surfer

Joyful. Watching Irons free style is enjoyable to the viewer, and you can see it was obviously a joy to him as well.

I think part of Andy's soul lives through little Axel.

the barrel ride @ 3:33 i will never forget R.I.P. brah

almost 5 years ago. legends never die. Rest in paradise Andy Irons!!

this guy inspired everybody who surfs to go out at push the limit everytime they paddled out. you watch him and try to replicate what he did as best you could. he is a hero a legend and an icon to every one in the surf world R I P and thank you for inspiring me to be the best i can be at any thing i do in life! you are missed

One of the most beautiful things I've seen! Bruce man...God Bless you! Andy would be so happy and proud of you and to know that he was THIS MUCH loved!

Andy was the god of surfing. No one was that silky and magical.

I imagine that Andy´s son is going to be loved and well taken care of and will probably become a great surfer some day like his father..RIPeace..

The song at the end is perfect, a beautiful culmination of such vibrant short life. We'll miss you AI. Surf in Paradise brother

This video was so well done in such a short time after his passing 🩵🪽

The Biggest legend to ever step on Earth, I wish he was smashing waves around here. Even tough we can´t see him he will always be here in our hearts and minds. R.I.P Andy you´re THE Legend

andy has always and will always be my favorite surfer. He may not be here but in a way he'll always be here with every one thats ever seen him surf. AI Forever!

🙏🙏thank you for this video! It has been burned into my brain since I was just a little kid. AI forever ❤️

I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. Moody New England fall weather. Fairfield Ave. Hartford, CT. Waiting for a load. Thinking of the next swell in Rhode Island and figuring out which day I’m gonna call out sick. Read it on Live Leak on my Blackberry thought out loud,” oh, this is not good.” Strange what we remember. What a badass. Incredible talent lost forever. Long live AI!

his STYLE is what made hime great. those free surfing clips...wow. no cookie cutter airs or floaters. everything was extreme. how high can i get? how vert can i get on this one? Forever Irons for the win!!!

Uma lenda

Such a beautiful tribute. Thank you.

my heart has been hurting ever since he has been gone. It's almost impossible to take the fact that he is gone. Surfing is never going to be the same without him. ANDY IRONS lives in all of us. R.I.P.

Im so stoked seeing all the boys on tour helping Bruce and Lyndie raise Axle. it really shows the brotherhood between the surfers

I dont know jack sh.. about surfing, just wanted to see an inspirational video of someone that has perfected their craft through years of training. Such a pity he´s gone dough. Always nice to see a champ at work, and a humble one, even better. Thanks for the vid!

"Only the good die young"

RIP Andy your one of my best idol and still is.

only andy couldve given us this motivation for surfing we love u andy rip andy irons

November 2, 2010. RIP Andy, always in every surfers heart

Tunnels, Black Pots, Pine Trees, Pavilions, Hideaways, Secrets, Double Secrets, Grandpa's, Powerhouse Road, Grandma's, Lumahai, Kahe', POG and vodka The Snack Shop, Ono Burger, a dog named Razor, the the Dolphin fish shop, Tahiti i Nui's, Big Save, The Gourmet, The hot tub at the Hanalei Bay Resort, Aaron still teaching surfing.

watching this video and seeing how much he inspired people has me in awe and tears. Just being able to shake that man's hand would've been a life goal let alone be able to share a session with him, and it breaks my heart that I'll never be able meet such a great person. It's been far too long since I've touched my board, but thanks to his inspiration I can proudly say I'm gonna pick it back and never put it down again. R.I.P. Andy Irons, one of surfing's greatest legends.

one should not cry it's over, but smile that it happened ... we were one of the most exceptional experience surfer ... we greet the sea, each wave being ridden anywhere in the world, is now a part of you

Love this tribute.....RIP Andy!

I remember watching him at the Rip Curl Pro 2010 here in Portugal. I was sitting on the beach, with a friend of mine, and he passed right next to us. A few days later we learned that he died. And then i realized: "Shit! I saw Andy Irons surfing for a last time!" One day he was doing what loved most, and later he was gone forever. Life is an episodic thing...

Just incredible. Brilliantly put together tribute - thank you

Love you Andy. February 13th is forever yours. If there is an after life, I pray your out catching tasty waves back to back and that I get to join you out there. God bless Andy Irons, his family and friends, everyone that knew him and who loved his unique style and massive charisma that he gave to all of us with colossal passion for surfing. REST IN PEACE ANDY IRONS

Gives me goosebumps every time I play this video. Even tho I didn’t know Andy I knew he blew the doors off in surfing!!!!!

wow,,,,, this video still gives goose bumps ,,! rip ledgg

This whole video got me sad, but to watch was amazing,hen Bruce's part came at the end and I had tears in my eyes... What an amazing video

i cried like a sissy watching this…..forever Andy Irons

Watching this gives me chills. Probably the most motivational thing ive ever seen. RIP Irons.

Man I never knew about this man until today. But I can tell just from these short few minutes he was a very special, annd talented man. I've been wanting to get into surfing for sometime now but I don't live anywhere near the coast. When I finally do get out there I will try to be like this man...in surfing, and in life. R.I.P.

Look man, I'm speaking to you as one human being to another, I get that some weirdos like you get stoked off of making people mad on the internet, but there are some things you do not mess with. Andy Irons is not only one of the greatest surfers, but one of the most inspirational, kind-hearted people to ever walk this earth.

Andy and Bruce irons, will always be my favourite surfers.

Miss you man

Wow.. what an amazing tribute. I feel so sorry for Lyndie and Andy Jr, for their loss. For Bruce and all of the people in the surf community. I, just as a fan, feel robbed and devastated still, so I can only imagine the pain these people must feel. Andy was of another making than most surfers. He is a legend and he will never be forgotten. That is what we, as fans, has to make sure. We need to tell the tales of AI surfing and living. R.I.P Andy. Thank you for living and surfing!

oh Wow u kidding me! that was cool man, tears, joy n raw emotion...lifes ALIVE! im going surfing.

2018 and I still think about him. I really believe he still lives on, just not here.....see you on the other side when my times up brother🤙🤙

Andy's soul is resting in the waters, where he belongs. You can take the man out of the sea, but you cant take the sea out of the man.

One of my favorite videos! Even though it's so heartbreaking, it's so inspirational to see someone live their life the way with fire like he did.

i bow down ,,,,to one of the greatest surfers to ever live.

Gone but never forgotten, hand ten my dude.

Best tribute n great soundtrack !

What a great and dedicated tribute to him. R.I.P.

Such a magnificent soul
