Who was Andy Irons?
Andy Irons (July 24, 1978 – November 2, 2010) was a professional surer.

His younger brother, Bruce Irons, is a former competitor on the World Championship Tour of Surfing (WCT). During his childhood Andy regularly lost to Bruce in contests, but that changed once he entered the World Championship Tour.
