sagira Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Kelly Slater is a pro surfer. Andy Irons was :( It's really sad. He was only 32. He died from yellow fever, which is also here in my area right now. Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulLife Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yes, Kelly Slater has been around for quite awhile now! I remember thinking he was such a hottie when i was in high school. :) Andy Irons death is such a tragedy. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Okay, so for those of you who know Andy Irons, did you first hear of him this week after his death? We live in a surfing home, so Kelly is an icon around here. I'm personally not into surfing, so I could take him or leave him. But I do realize that he is an incredible surfer and has had a huge impact on the sport of surfing. He's just won his tenth world title at the age of 38. I recently read an article about him and how there is no other sportsman who had dominated his sport for so long, 20 years. And yet he's not well known among the general population. Interesting.

hsbaby Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I knew Kelly Slater was a surfer, but have never heard of the other guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaJeanne Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Kelly Slater was the reason I always looked through my brother's surfing magazines in high school. I haven't kept up with the world of surfing though, so I only heard of Andy Irons this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I knew Kelly Slater was a surfer, but have never heard of the other guy. :iagree:Sad to hear of his premature death, though. I didn't know folks still died from Dengue Fever in this day & age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 :iagree:Sad to hear of his premature death, though. I didn't know folks still died from Dengue Fever in this day & age. I knew Kelly Slater too, but only heard of Andy Irons this week. His wife is 8 months pregnant :( The news report I heard said that he was supposedly suffering from dengue fever, but that his body didn't actually show any signs of it, so it was considered suspicious/mysterious or something. Has there been an update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyB Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Two of my favorite surfers! It's very sad about Andy Irons. He was a great surfer, and I loved his style. I watch surfing videos online whenever I'm in a bad mood; they always brighten my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackacre Farm Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I know about Kelly Slater, since we grew up on the same street in Cocoa Beach and went to school with the Slater boys. I didn't know who Andy Irons was until this week. Sad story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
