His STYLE is hands down - as is tom curran’s…i NEVER tire of watching them. But NO ONE is FASTER than slater…and no one STAYS on the board like slater… Its his FEET! Too big for his body!
Agreed. His backside attack remains unparalleled to me. I understand you gotta grab the rail in most situations, backside while tube riding but it’s kinda ugly.
Bobby Martinez 2nd best for overall backhand imo he just mastered backhand like no other even if its a loop. For barrel & especially pig-dogging. Andy forever no contest.
ANDY IRONS has always been influential to my surf. If there is an after life, I'm praying that he is out catching tasty waves and that I get to meet up with him out there. God bless Andy Irons, his family, everyone who knew him, all who admired and loved his style. February 13 is forever yours. May you rest in peace.
Baddest Ass Surfer Ever, Most powerful off the tops that he did so smoothly and seemingly effortlessly. I have never seen anyone before or after do off the tops like he did. Everytime I see one of those I get amped up and wanna go surfing. I pray God's best for his family.
Sorry to say, but nobody has ever been able to surf in the upper echelon realm of Andy. If you don't understand this, then you don't know what it feels like to strive to attain that level of talent, which seemed to come effortlessly and naturally for Andy. A.I. forever.... He is my religion.
I know it's not the gnarliest shit but Andy Irons honestly from this video I've noticed this dude had some of the sickest cutbacks I've ever fuckin seen!!! Like he rounds them out so far down the line and then when he's coming back towards the lip on his bottom turn to go up towards the lip he fuckin literally get parallel with the sea and pulls all those g-forces engine BOOOOOM comes up to the lip heavy!!!!! I don't know what it is about people who have a bunch of personal demons and drown themselves and drugs but I just think there's so much cooler individuals then a lot of square ass people and they usually have the heaviest deepest Hearts and Thoughts. And are usually some of the most interesting people in the world and the fact that they have all this depth and interesting qualities is why they used the drugs. It's because the weight of all of their being is too much to deal with. I'm not joking when I say that Kelly Slater is like one of the only f****** guys who never does drugs that I think is just super interesting and cool. They call Kelly Slater the f****** Shaman and I met him twice and served with him at the same brakes on Northshore few times and he just seemed super intense and I'll never forget that one cloudbreak where it was huge and massive and Kelly Slater came in to commentate for a little bit, one of the guys was saying after Kelly left that you can't even look at the guy in his eyes because he said it's like electricity and Kelly's eyes and then he just sees right through you and that it made him feel super uncomfortable. I'll never forget that the announcer said that cuz it was just so trippy because normally they try to act all fake and charismatic but you could tell that Kelly shook him so much of the bone that he had to deviate off the normal course of commentary in order to say how Kelly is made him feel LOL!!
Someone at ...Lost, please upload Lost at Sea before it becomes a faded memory. I'll give you all my money, this video is too special to let people forget.
"welcome to paradise" 5:24 this is my favorite edit I've seen in a long time. grew up to all those videos. i love em all equally. such a bummer. andy was so fucking rad in the 90s.
I know Kelly is good but Andy totally made Kelly step his game up, I honestly feel that no one rides deeper throatier barrels than Andy. Hardcore to the fullest, def my favorite surfer even before his death. I used to watch this guy rip when I was a grom. There is a picture of him @ Huntington on the wall getting it!
I just heard the guy is single now. I can enjoy his vids guilty free. Edit: who can blame me, who cannot fall for a guy that floats in the waves like that! Oh my oh my
if anyone has a copy of raw irons i'll pay for it i need it so bad. he was my idol growing up i actually went through 3 vhs copies just because of how much i watched it but can't find it anywhere online
ALL of this was routine for pros until 3:35. That cutback and Andy's on rail turning is what sets him above the rest of the PROFESSIONALS. Again at 6:53
Floaters are gnarly and underrated these days. And how he made vertical reentry turn into a floater then a helicopter or slide. HIC boards looked better for him, but wish he used heavier slightly convexed bottomed boards for certain heavier conditions. Saw a video interview of his quiver and how he like heavier glassed boards for some thick conditions and glassed fins, which was nice. .
Yeah his floaters were sick as f*** and super stylish but I left a comment saying that I think he honestly has some of the sickest cutbacks ever f****** seen in my life!! He literally pumps down the line so far that it's almost the end of the f****** wave and then he comes back and on that bottom turn before he hits the lip he always always gets parallel with the water to gain all that energy just to come up to the lip and smack the f*** out of it! Seriously like I've never seen anybody do cutbacks with that much style and passion and honestly tons of Rage! Like I never use exclamation marks in my riding LOL but Andy is literally made me😂😂😂😂
Love you guys I'm here in Florida mamba mambacticaing out. I'm storylineing now. In memory of AI. He would be proud to see me. Actually I think he might...amen.
We miss you, Andy...
every now again along comes an athlete that changes the sport, Andy Iron is such a person, Aloha Bruddah
There will be no one ever as good as Andy.
His power surfing was second to none.
They will innovate surfing but non will come close to surfing waves as stylish and perfect flow like Andy
Best surfer this planet has ever seen...
Undisputed.
I agree
Tom Curren….
We’ll see about that, Juma Mohammed remember the name
His STYLE is hands down - as is tom curran’s…i NEVER tire of watching them.
But NO ONE is FASTER than slater…and no one STAYS on the board like slater…
Its his FEET! Too big for his body!
28/12/2022
You are still the best. A.I. forever
I like how he was able to pull off all those varieties of airs with style...no stinkbug stance that you see today.
Best backhand,best backhand barrel rider stand up no hands and probably the most fluent stylish surfer still 2019
Rail surfing at its finest imo
Agreed. His backside attack remains unparalleled to me. I understand you gotta grab the rail in most situations, backside while tube riding but it’s kinda ugly.
best all around but bobby Martinez's backhand is untouchable
@@aaronvanrensburgcom I can see where your coming from ...
Bobby Martinez 2nd best for overall backhand imo he just mastered backhand like no other even if its a loop. For barrel & especially pig-dogging. Andy forever no contest.
@@jimihendrixx11 Bobby is definitely up there with them !
Haven’t heard anything from him in awhile.
I wonder what he’s up to
The Best surfer...thanks Andy

Yeah bro there is an afterlife check the Bible
There is an after life! Read the quran
ah duh…and the koran!
The afterlife is either heaven or hell
He was the best surfer that I've seen in my simple life. It's a big loss to surfing's world.
My Hero will not be forgotten
RIP A.I.

"welcome to paradise" 5:24 this is my favorite edit I've seen in a long time. grew up to all those videos. i love em all equally. such a bummer. andy was so fucking rad in the 90s.
Spectacular!
One of my biggest surfing inspirations, total respect!!

Black sheep ..... up and running thank you Andy Irons 🙏 ride in paradise ❤ thank U2 ...lost
CARA MUITO FODA,VIBRAÇOES POSITIVAS.
I know Kelly is good but Andy totally made Kelly step his game up, I honestly feel that no one rides deeper throatier barrels than Andy. Hardcore to the fullest, def my favorite surfer even before his death. I used to watch this guy rip when I was a grom. There is a picture of him @ Huntington on the wall getting it!
Watching Chopes surfers on Bounty Hunters- Andy - no straps, no vest, no tow-in. Yet he stood up on Chopes.
Man drugs addictions are a scary rabbit hole, he was definitely on a completely different level then anyone, only one close to him is Kelly and jjf
wipeout at 2:44 is fucking brutal
MISS YOU MY FRIEND !~RIP
three things Andy good music and lost 🤙
A.I forever
I just heard the guy is single now. I can enjoy his vids guilty free. Edit: who can blame me, who cannot fall for a guy that floats in the waves like that! Oh my oh my

Sick move using his backhand to pivot back into the pocket 4:39

AYY ENN DEE WHY BRO MADD RESPECTZ SURF UP GS
RIP Andy if he was alive the rival with Slater would be like Federer and Nadal
if anyone has a copy of raw irons i'll pay for it i need it so bad. he was my idol growing up i actually went through 3 vhs copies just because of how much i watched it but can't find it anywhere online

R.I.P IDOLO!
The good old days man Surfing was on fire
muito bom!
ALL of this was routine for pros until 3:35.
That cutback and Andy's on rail turning is what sets him above the rest of the PROFESSIONALS.
Again at 6:53
Sublime and AI is such a nostalgic duos
Wow
Rest In Peace Andy Irons, May God Rest Your Soul...
Deus coloca no esporte pessoas igual ao Andy Irons, Ayrton Senna..para motivar que é possível
andy "walked on the sea like it was dry land"'
R.I.P
Was Andy riding a Lost round nose fish in the beginning ? Look like a twin fin set-up. Cool video.
dude did some stylin' floaters

Seriously like I've never seen anybody do cutbacks with that much style and passion and honestly tons of Rage! Like I never use exclamation marks in my riding LOL but Andy is literally made me😂😂😂😂
Best days in surfing now its just like football
He does shit in the small stuff that just doesn't make sense, I've never seen a surfer that is that free to do what what he wants on a board like him
Ai forever
A.i. onda veebs😎 👍👏
