A.I R.I.P

I woke up this morning and heard the sadest news that Andy Irons just passed away (he was battling against Dengue fever).

To lose a Brother, a son, and a husband (soon to be father) must heartbreaking far beyond what I can imagine.

My deepest thoughts are going to his family. So while it may not bring any comfort to this huge loss, His soul, his inspiration is alived through most surfers you are seeing in the oceans all around the globe because like me, thousands of other kids have watched him surf and try to copy his style.

for more info, here is the press release from Billabong.

Gotta like surfing
