Andy Irons and the best claim in surfing history

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

I didn’t catch the contest yesterday but it seems that all is in order and it also seems that no one did anything particularly noteworthy. Andy Irons probably would have. Do you remember, for example, when he shot Dean “Dingo” Morrison multiple times with a shotgun in Tahiti?

There Andy spat out of the barrel and poor Dingo was sitting in the channel and the next thing he knew…four slugs planted in his face and upper body (watch above video minute at 2:48). Ouch.

The kids don’t do that sort of stuff anymore.

But in other news, it appears that Ronnie Blakey is sponsored by Salty Crew and/or any surfer he is interviewing’s sponsor. Have you noticed that he puts on hat/shirt of whoever is across from him? The bonus of a nude Fiji Pro!

Welcome to the team, Ron!

Best article I’ve read on here so far. Aside from the politics section. What happened to that?

Best claim in surf history, without a doubt. Except he lost the heat.

Chas Smith

The loss makes the claim even better. Pure!
