  • Andy Irons is a professional surfer. Irons, a kama'aina, was reared on the dangerous and shallow reefs of the North Shore in Kauai, Hawaii, and has three world titles (2002, 2003, 2004), three Quiksilver Pro France titles (2003, 2004, 2005) and two Rip Curl Pro Search titles (2006 & 2007). An inspiration to many young surfers, he and his family host the Annual Irons Brothers Pinetrees Classic, a contest for youngsters, to give back to the community that has given them so much. The governor of Hawaii deemed February 13 forever 'Andy Irons day'. The 2004 movie Blue Horizon (directed by surfing filmmaker Jack McCoy -- not the character from Law&Order), paralleled his life on the WCT tour with that of free surfer, David Rastovich. The film also touched on his long-time rivalry with nine-time world champion Kelly Slater. Although the film was created in a documentary-like style, there has been some debate over whether or not the film offered an accurate and fair portrayal of Irons' surfing lifestyle. In addition to "Blue Horizon", Andy has also played the subject of many other surf films, including his latest, Trilogy, starring Andy Irons, Joel Parkinson, and Taj Burrow. Also, Andy is mainly known for his fearless and dedicated mindset, heavy wave surfing, and big carves with buckets of spray. His younger brother, Bruce Irons, is a fellow competitor on the World championship tour (WCT) surfing. During his childhood Andy would lose to Bruce in contests, but that changed once he entered the World Championship Tour, where he dominated. Andy married his girlfriend Lyndie Dupuis on November 25, 2007 in Princeville, Kauai. He was inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach, California in 2008. In 2009 Andy withdrew from doing the full ASP World Tour season for personal reasons, though he will do a few select events. He requested a wildcard entry for the 2010 ASP World Tour season and was granted this by ASP President Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew so Andy will not have to re-qualify in 2010 via the World Qualifying Series (WQS).

  • Andy Irons (24 de julho de 1978) é um surfista profissional havaiano. Criado nos recifes perigosos e rasos do North Shore de Kauai, é três vezes campeão mundial. Como inspiração para muitos jovens, ele e sua família realizam todo ano o Irons Brothers Pinetrees Classic, um campeonato que busca levar à comunidade tudo aquilo que Irons recebeu um dia. O governador do Havaí elegeu o dia 13 de fevereiro como o "Dia de Andy Irons". O filme "Blue Horizon", realizado em 2004 e dirigido por Jack McCoy, fez um paralelo entre sua vida no WCT e a de David Rostovich, free surfer. O filme fala também de sua grande rivalidade com o octacampeão mundial Kelly Slater. Surgiram algumas discussões se os fatos apresentados no filme são ou não um retrato preciso do estilo de vida de Irons. Em 2006 venceu seu quarto título da Tríplice Coroa Havaiana, e agora está empatado com Derek Ho na lista dos maiores de todos os tempos. Irons irá iniciar o campeonato de 2007 em segundo lugar, tentando obter outro título contra profissionais como Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Taj Burrow, Cory Lopez e os irmãos Hobgood. Seu irmão Bruce Irons, é companheiro de competição no World Championship Tour.
