    "How do you describe Andy?"
    "He surfed like a cat on acid."
    Classic. Unforgettable.

    I m a bodyboarder and in general i dont like surfing... But i love andy irons, and to me, this is only way to ride a surfing board like him in power and style... Amazing andy. Every year, the day before of my november birthday, i still remember him... In my memory forever. 🤙🤙😎😎

  • @spencer.kissack.the.author

    Oh my god😭crying my eyes out having watched this. What a lovely tribute to a great guy. I didn't know he had passed away. I used to surf here in Portugal & once in Hawaii but a very long time ago.
    When I was into surfing in my younger years I used to watch old vhs tapes of Andy & Bruce, Sonny, Occy....fuck. This has crushed me. 32... jesus. Rest in Surfing Peace Legend. 🏄🏼‍♂️

    To try and be a winner, people will do many things and make sacrifices. To be a winner and try and win, has so many more tangents and amplifies the pressures. At the end of the day, the sadness can be overshadowed by his surfing, so it's that greatness that will shine through and live forever.

    All, all is not alright
    Your role, it played through time
    come and rescue me
    You're needed here at home
    and your space
    a moment in time
    a hand to hold, a hand I tried
    Who was it called to you?
    Who called?
    Your stories alive with hello's and goodbye's
    Bright lights, first kiss and drunken nights
    how I miss you, I miss you now and hey,
    And I can't wait another day
    and hey, that crooked smile upon your face
    Oh they'll never get old
    all the stories you told
    from the beach to the ring to the songs of your soul
    How I miss you
    I miss you now and hey,
    And the rain falling cold outside
    covered me the day you died
    You could've waited one more day
    and I should've called
    I dream of your life, the war and the fight
    the music you played and the love for your wife
    and I miss you
    I miss you now and hey, I can't wait another day
    and hey, that crooked smile upon your face
    Oh, they'll never get old
    all the stories you told
    from the beach to the ring to the songs of your soul
    How I miss you and I miss you now and hey,
    And I'm mad at the age
    that stole you away
    By surviving the beach
    you gave me my stay
    and I understand, by this that I am
    all that you were
    was changed by the sand
    but I miss you and I miss you now and hey,
    I can't wait another day
    and hey, that crooked smile upon your face
    oh, they'll never get old
    all the stories you told
    from the beach to the ring
    to the songs of your soul
    How I miss you...
    I miss you now and hey...
