Andy Irons (1978-2010)

JP just informed me that former 3x ASP World Champ Andy Irons died from Dengue Fever. I am shocked and sickened. I have followed this guy closely and am stunned. I knew he was sick because I was following the contest but thought it was just the flu since there were no rumblings that it was serious. He was one of my favorite surfers and was making a big comeback, marked by a tour win a month back in Tahiti. More tragically and devastating, he had his first kid on the way and was married to an incredible and beautiful woman. Awful.

About

What are we all about? Who knows? Who cares? It’s too soon to say. We are a slow brewing stew and have just set the proper heat under the stove. We have yet to add bits of carrot and celery and whatever Brazilian bullshit my counterpart would add to a stew. It will take time. Care, whimsy, procrastination, will all be added. Wrong ingredients will surely be added as well, but it is all ok. It’s a process. We will figure it all out in time and hopefully serve up something nourishing and if all goes right, delicious. In the meantime, let’s agree not to worry about, About.
