The surf industry suffered a great loss yesterday. Andy Irons, pro Billabong surfer, 3 time world ASP champ, brother to Bruce Irons, husband, and soon-to-be father passed away of Dengue Fever.
He contracted the illness in Puerto Rico and was on his way home to Hawaii when he passed. It's crazy to think that we just saw him at a surf premier a few weeks ago and he left at such a young age (32) with a child on the way. Our hearts go out to his family and friends.
*on a side note, Derek contracted dengue fever on his mission....what a scary a serious illness!
