andy irons allways seems to come across as a right prick theres a few good videos of him on surf line droping in on people at pipeline

That "letting go" movie about Slater made Irons out to look like a whiney little girl...

Hope Taylor Knox gets in there someday too.

I know Taj is good but Ive never seen him surf anything over 10ft. Ive seen kelly get towed in at Jaws.

by **izzmunkee** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:41 pm

Kelly also won the Eddie in 2002 (i think).

by **FishKid Wales** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:03 pm

I reckon Kelly will win it this year and then retire with a record 8 wins, Taj will have it next year no problem.

Kelly/Taj/Irons are better than them?

Context matters.

when was the last time Laird Hamilton was on the WCT?.. He's too busy filming movies about how he was the "first" to do something.... What an ego....

by **dougirwin13** » Sun Jul 02, 2006 10:56 pm

LOL! If you wanna talk ego you should see some of the behind the scenes stuff from the WCT. Scarey, shockin.

So you subscribe to the train of thought that says "if you aren't on the WCT you aren't a great surfer"?

So you surf to beat other people and feed your ego?

What about Eddie Aikau? And the other names I listed?

I implore all of you - look at why you surf. Think carefully about the kind of surfing you respect and enjoy.

Then think about what makes a great surfer. And ask yourself why you are so eager to cave into the images force-fed to you by corporate giants. What are their motives for doing this?

Think!
