Interesting story: This sequence of me at Pipe was never seen, published, or on Surfline cameras. It was a slide that @brianbielmann gave me a long time ago that sat in a box in my closet. I remember wondering how it would look blown up and I just had it done. It really brought back some great memories of some heavy waves I was fortunate enough to ride growing up. Thanks to Brian and all@the photographers that shot moments like this and it’s crazy to think of all the amazing slides that never saw the light of day…#hiddentreasures 🙌🙌

Enjoying a really “Good Day” carving all the way,@rictator.Lot legend Rick Irons. 🎥 by Harry Martin

So good to see my fellow Irons crew at the epic @jsgarageoceanside event last night. Best gathering in ages and what surfing used to feel like and brought back good memories. Somehow Axel is taller than me 😳, might be the angle of the photo….Haha. #ironsclan

One of the best things I treasure from my Dad is his Daily Light devotional I got after he went to Heaven. He would underline things, circle key words, write notes (sometimes the whole page 😂), but I feel like he’s reading it with me sometimes. Gods word is powerful and helps light the path when things feel unsure. 🙏. Blessed to have this remembrance of him and get encouragement when I read it in the morning.

We did it and thanks to all me team from the Degree 33 crew who pulled together for the 100 Wave Challenge!! We raised over $30k as a group for the Boys to Men Mentoring program and it is going to help the young men in SD who need guidance.NOTE: if you still want to contribute it goes until Nov. 1st.

100 waves at Cardiff is no joke, but here’s the breakdown:86 Lefts, 8 rights, 5 straight rides, and one over the falls head first into the sand. 😂. All in, it Took 5 hours, 3 coffees, 1 donut and 12 Aleeve 💊, and a nap after but all good. 🤙.

Thanks to Trevor Berge, Joe Sigurdson, Atilla Degree 33 Surfboards and all the crew. And all those who contributed for my mission. Until next year. 💪. www.boystomen.org

Found think link to Surfer TV show in 1990s with a clip from Pipe. Fun one and nice little memory as getting clips back then wasn’t easy as it is today. Most of our best waves went undocumented and were for you and the boys.. but they are still in the mind.

Rick Irons (1944-2024)- This past week we were honored to celebrate the life of my Dad at home in Hawaii. It was such an amazing outpouring of love, great memories, and respect for a life lived for others and dedicated to the Lord.

We spread his ashes at Waimea Bay, which was a special place for him from when he first came to the North Shore in the mid 60s. Then, he helped pioneer big wave surfing there and made some of the best surfboards ridden there in the 70s. It was a place he revered and he is part of it and the north shore waves forever. ❤️

Later that day, we had a memorial at Calvary Chapel Mililani with many friends and family where all were able to share stories together.This church facility was a lifelong dream for him and it is now a permanent place for God’s love to be spread among the community.

I know he was blessed and celebrating with his Heavenly Father. 🙏. I still miss him and his calm spirit, humble nature, and gentle soul. All of us were inspired by his journey and dedication to serve God with his life…love you dad. ❤️

Well, that’s a wrap!I got to watch my son Jude Thomas Irons officially graduate UCSD with honors on Father’s Day.He is such a remarkable young man and I’m grateful to be his Dad. The future is wide open ahead and he is my beloved son. ❤️ #ironsclan #Godisgood

Rick Irons Sr. (1944-2024) ❤️
On June 2, 2024 my father went home to the Lord in peace. He lived a life dedicated to his family, friends, community, church, and most of all to his Father in Heaven.

It’s impossible to summarize a life like his in a few words, but he was a man that had many facets- son, brother, stylish surfer, craftsman, north shore pioneer, big wave charger, deep thinker, provider, family man, servant, humility, dignity, respect, and courage.

He touched the lives of so many and was someone who could be trusted and count on through “thick and thin” as he would say.

I miss him so much and will treasure the moments together throughout the years in the water, having talks, coffees, watching King Kong movies.

The Irons family lost a great one, but his love, character, and memories live on. He is with his heavenly Father rejoicing now and his journey on this earth is complete. 🙏❤️

“Well done, good and faithful servant…enter into the joy of your Lord.” Matthew 25:21

Appreciate the great memories and footage @jimiberlin1 from some epic Pipe days….#godisgood #barleymadeit #claim 😂
