Andy Irons Not On The 2009 ASP Surfing Tour?

January 25th, 2009 by Adam

Wow! Believe it or not, but Andy Irons will not surf on the 2009 ASP World Surfing Tour.  Andy has decided to take the surfing tour year off.  He wants to chase swells, take surf trips with friends and re-focus on his life and relationships.

Andy has been on the ASP World Tour for 12 years and it looks like he needs a rest from the grueling tour.  He has won 3 ASP World Titles and won multiple surfing events.  He might enter a few select 2009 events as a wild-card and will have an automatic place on the 2010 ASP World Tour.  Andy will not have to requalify on the WQS Tour.

Last year Andy’s brother, Bruce Irons, annouced his retirment from the ASP World Tour.  Although Bruce retired, I think Andy will be back for the 2010 ASP World Tour.
