Andy Irons - R.I.P.

Post by Michael Heaven »

The world of surfing mourns an incredibly sad loss today with the news that Hawaii’s Andy Irons has died. Andy was a beloved husband, and a true champion.

Irons, 32, withdrew from a professional surfing event in Puerto Rico last weekend due to illness, and passed away during a layover en-route to his home in Kauai, Hawaii. He had reportedly been battling with Dengue Fever, a viral disease.

WOW! Not that I guess it really matters, but I was at least hoping that he died surfing some monster waves rather than a virus.

They are saying he OD'd on methadone. That fever sounds pretty gnarly.
