The Surf News InsiderThe latest surf-related news from the coconut wireless. Edited by Chris Mauro. Recent Comments backsidefive says: "This is what I love about Kelly Slater...He's made a career out of doing what he loves but he doesn't put himself on top of the world just because he's the best there is and possibly one of the best overall athletes around. He has fun and just does his best, and even though he is the best, he's not arrogant about it. He has a great attitude and everyone should learn from him! Keep grinding hard Slater!" backsidefive says: "I think everyone likes winning more than losing. The important thing is to enjoy what you're doing....take it seriously but not so serious that you're walking around with a stick up your a$$." backsidefive says: "I agree. Surfing is way underrated in the US and Slater deserves more credit than the press gives him. He always has been and always will be a beast! Keep grinding hard Slater!" catherine gwen says: "This American can appreciate the talents of Slater... in fact I know quite a few Americans and one Canadian @ www.backsidefive.com that feel the same way. Grinding harder ;)" | < previous 81 of 364 next > Did Andy Irons send a message?It's been a couple weeks since Andy Irons' memorial gathering on Kauai, and images are still trickling out. While there are  hundreds of beautiful shots from that very emotional day, the magnitude of this single shot taken at sundown is tough to match.We're not sure who snapped this photo of the sunset that day, but the cloud photographed looks a lot like a surfer soul-arching his way through the sky, baggy shorts and all, as if waving goodbye. The image was posted by Sunny Garcia on his twitter account with the tease, "Check out this photo taken on the day of Andy's service." As you'd expect, the overwhelming response was one of total amazement. Goosebumps have been rising as word of this has spread. Those who find comfort in "coincidences" like this are sure Andy -- wherever he is -- is riding well. So is it real? We don't know. But let's hope so. But more incredible images of Andy's remarkable journey can be found in this amazing photo flip book put together by the lensmen at SURFING Magazine. Channels: Surf < previous 81 of 364 next > |

The three time World Surfing Champion has made statement with his death scene. Perhaps the spirit of Andy in the clouds will stay with us forever. Sick, alone, on drugs, in a room at the airport, Andy was just trying to get back home.
