HANALEI — Back-to-back, two-time Association of Surfing Professionals world champion Andy Irons made a public appearence Saturday.
Irons won the ASP title in December with a decisive win over six-time world champion Kelly Slater of Cocoa Beach, Florida at the Pipeline Masters.
Irons, and his brother Bruce Irons, who is also one of the top pro surfers in the world, hosted their annual 14-under youth surfing contest at Pine Trees along Hanalei Bay Saturday morning and afternoon.
The Irons brothers grew up at Hanalei and surfed the beachbreaks at Hanalei themselves while attending Hanalei School.
Billabong surfwear, Andy Irons’ major sponsor, helped underwrite the day of action for the Kaua‘i kids.
The brothers head off soon for the first ASP contests of the New Year, in Australia.
