The Renowned Surfers

By Willis Christopher


ANDY IRONS

The former Andy Irons, the true star of the sport, left and embossed a legacy not just in the world of surfing, but also in people's hearts as well. He encouraged a lot of folks and fueled them to continue with their battle. He was certainly one of Hawaii's renowned surfers, indeed, he is among the WORLD's greatest surfers in history. He claimed three world titles in ASP World Tours, 3 Quicksilver Pro France awards, two Rip Curl Pro Search titles, along with 20 elite tour wins. In addition, he got the title of Vans Triple Crown of Surfing 4 periods in the years of 2002-2006. Because of his legacy, the governor in Hawaii launched February 13 as the annual "Andy Irons Day". Irons certainly is the mere surfer who had earned a title in each venue during the course of the ASP calendar. He is frequently matched to his best competitor, also a famous surfer Kelly Slater.

KELLY SLATER

"Everything started coming into my head, ... I was the youngest world champ and now I am the oldest world champ; it has been seven years ever since I won my last title and this is my seventh one ... but all these numbers and things are certainly not as valuable as the feeling." -Kelly Slater

Kelly Slater is obviously one among the leading skilled surfers who has been made in this planet. His skill started in his neighborhood in Cocoa Beach, Florida the place he was born in February 11, 1972. Known for his kindling fire and also competitive ability, Slater was the youngest (age 20, 1992) as well as the oldest (age 39, 2011) surfer to have ever been given the title ASP World Champion. On top of that, he too acquired nine additional ASP World Champion titles throughout the years 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2010. He had shown to the whole world that his expertise in surfing is ageless and that regardless of circumstances, he is engrossed to be victorious in the fight. Slater had many surfing awards in his surfing times right up until these days in which he's actually 40 years old. He has genuinely considered surfing his own history too.
