He was brutal! I haven't seen a surfer that can rip with that character. He gives the impression of been stronger than the wave. I haven't seen that in that, but in Andy. Total dominance. RIP
Surfing today is in a big way fashioned by Andy's style, maneuvers and attack. Best surfer of all time hands down. Always made it look easy while absolutely ripping in heaving surf. Perfect style, poise and balance. His shoulders, upper body, arms all, right down to his fingers are always in perfect movement and rotation with no unnecessary movements. Drew lines that others didn't even mind surf yet. Wrote the book on the back side pig dog squeeze out every inch of tube time. Watch his turns. He never slows down through turns and connects every move rail to rail. Pure pleasure to watch. You can't critique his surfing at all and say oh he could have turned or hit that a little harder, been deeper so and so would surf there better. He always ripped, and you never look away even after watching over and over. Best surfer ever. Andy Irons.
Grew up in Southern California right by LAX onnthe coast. Did a little surfing back in the 80s and 90s. I know the ocean pretty well. Ive been around some local legends. With this decent amount of knowledge i know what to look for as a spectator. Andy Irons is by far the greatest surfer i have ever seen period. So what if Slater has 11. titles to Irons 3. Slater went corporate and he made a ton of money and fame and he is really good . But check this out folks you witnessing here in this video the greatest surfer to ever walk this earth hands down ...not even close with whomever you choose to match up with Andy Irons. People may say jow xan you tell the best surfers all can rip. You see it in the small stuff. Its almost mocroscopic the differences rhat ate there . Ive also never seen a surfer look so comfortable riding waves. His imagination is surpurb. Check out wnen he rides the lip after getting blown out of a tube its like razor thin. Aggressive cutbacks well we all knew that yet hus 12 oclock to 6 ocllock is unmatched in speed and accuracy. Man i cant get over this video. Nice call on the soundtrack. Perfect choice
I've watched this video a hundred times. Every couple of months I find myself watching it again. Always inspired. Great video. The music really matches Andy's style of surfing, especially in these clips. Unbelieveable amount of talent. Andy Irons will always be a great surfer. His memory will always live on.
Song : Ennio Morricone - L’estasi Dell'oro (Bandini remix) Fell in love with this soundtrack and searched the name of it for hours ! There must be people around here having the same trouble as mine… hope this helps
Andy Irons - so amazing. We just visited Kauai. Went to Tamba Surf Shop. It makes a person tear up just thinking what the Surfing World lost with Andy’s passing. Beautiful video. Thank you.
For about five straight years it was Kelly and Andy no one else was even close Slater can thank his longevity on tour to Andy because he would have dropped out 15 years ago from boredom cuz there was no one else even competitive
First time seeing this. The fact that GBATU was and still my favorite western and mix in s new version of the music with one of the greatest sñorts in the world? You've got gold baby. Outstanding!
Mah Fukn badass one of a kind so gnarly the ollie at 1:00, 1:46-2:20, and the bombs that he rides out of at Teahupo'o as he's casually just flip'n them shakas says it all all time master shredder hope he's rip'n in peace!

I've never seen a surfer his equal. The GOAT
He was brutal! I haven't seen a surfer that can rip with that character. He gives the impression of been stronger than the wave. I haven't seen that in that, but in Andy. Total dominance. RIP

Still the best surfer of all time. RIP Legend 🙌🏼
I got to agree 100 percent. Wow.
To this day, the ride at 1:46 is one of the most amazing rides i've ever seen
so epic. I agree
+doggieGZ I can't imagine how that must feel! Does anybody know when and where that was? So crazy.
+gstole1 desert point, indonesia it was in the surf movie "high five"
just the line he took
i think koa smith's wave in skeleton bay is at least as good as this one

Druggie and a ahole from whatvis said in a lot of videos
Song : Ennio Morricone - L’estasi Dell'oro (Bandini remix)
Fell in love with this soundtrack and searched the name of it for hours ! There must be people around here having the same trouble as mine… hope this helps
Damn! good job. Would of been hard to find with no lyrics.
"Ahhhhahaheeehawww" .. ..best I got for lyrics
Slaters only Rival.
Andy Irons, Master of the Sea. His flow, power, heart, passion, ease, energy, and plan ole God-given talent in the water is just INSANE!
AI Forever
Still the king. STILL. THE. KING.
The balance and coordination is astounding. I can’t image many things more fun than to be a great surfer having these experiences.
Andy Irons - so amazing. We just visited Kauai. Went to Tamba Surf Shop. It makes a person tear up just thinking what the Surfing World lost with Andy’s passing. Beautiful video. Thank you.
Legend!!! Smoothest and best to ever get on board in my eyes
The best regular backside of the surf history!!!
Agreed dude!! It's close though, IMO... Mick and Taj are up there too
wardo and andy hands down!
Salut champion. J'aurais aimé le revoir surfer en France mais le sort en a décidé autrement...
Bueh
I found this video, and a tear came to my eye. Andy was not just a great surfer, but a phenomenal human being. I miss him.
What a total waste. RIP
How did he die?
1:46-2:20 ...those moments are really incredible! absolute heaven...
HE ripped
Haunting music to go with the legend
I'm just learning how to short board surf and this video inspired me to never let surfing go. THANKS A LOT!!!
The Ecstasy of Gold ...fantastic selection!
Le seul surfeur plus fort que Kelly
Holy shit that turn at 3:00 was insane
AI was literally the best surfer and will most likely will be
Andy Irons & Ennio Morricone
:)
RIP ANDY IRONS A NAVALHA DOS OCEANOS!!!!!!
The most creative surfer ever. His style will be remember forever! RIP.
Legend.
Andy❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your always to be one of my favorite surfers I've surfd with no matter how far the sea divides us
That wave at 1:46 has to be the best ride I have ever seen.
Powerful surfer. Pulling big floaters, really long tube rides and on and…. But I like those late practically impossible take offs the most
¿Cómo un ser humano puede hacer ésto?
Una generación entera alucinando con (Andy)
Hi, 👍 could you please tell us what is the name of the musical theme?
Ennio Morricone - L'estasi Dell'oro (Bandini remix) :)
His cutbacks were lovely, the best ones ive seen
Well Joel Parkinson ones all also espectacular
All hail the great one
Increible...uno de los mejores videos ke he visto nunca..."grande Andy Irons"
Este video contiene la que es la mejor ola surfeada, desert point.
Best surfer ever ! What is the song ?
Ennio Morricone - L'Estasi Dell'oro (Bandini Remix) :)
Andy has the approach of Kelly Slater
Jhon Florence's touch, and
Gabriel Medina's audacity
All 3 = Andy
What can one say; coruscating surfing & the music which so blemdswith Iron's surfing here!
For about five straight years it was Kelly and Andy no one else was even close Slater can thank his longevity on tour to Andy because he would have dropped out 15 years ago from boredom cuz there was no one else even competitive
immortal technique
Not much pipeline, considering it's AI
Thank you Andy
Goosebumps! Rip
Yes. Goosebumps.
What Kelly Slater has accomplished no surfer will ever accomplish.... Anyway Andy is the king
Andy el mejor rip
For ever!
The best ever !! #AIforever .
What about that bottom turn at pipe?

I much prefer this music than the “crab apple” song 🙂
Merry Christmas.
Légendaire !

Mah Fukn badass one of a kind so gnarly the ollie at 1:00, 1:46-2:20, and the bombs that he rides out of at Teahupo'o as he's casually just flip'n them shakas says it all all time master shredder hope he's rip'n in peace!
The only surfer that dies that I care about other wise its just one less in the line up. Love ya Andy
Great surfer. Death by addiction. Balls of METH , heroin and dishonesty
When it gets good, and its throttling, i like to bust out the AI boardshorts. Representing the legend. Miss this guy....
