ARICA, Chile (Saturday, June 16, 2007) – Three-time Foster’s ASP World Champion and current world No. 7 Andy Irons (HAW) has proven himself in the heavy, barreling surf of Pipeline and Teahupoo time and time again.

Reports from Arica, Chile, the location of the 2007 Rip Curl Pro Search event, indicate that Irons and the rest of the Top 45 will have an opportunity to show their skills in a wave equally as critical when competition commences on June 20.Irons won the 2006 Search event held in long, barreling, warm-water rights in La Jolla Mexico. The cold-water Chilean break of Ex-Isla Alacran is so-likened to Hawaii’s Banzai Pipeline that the right and left-hand reef break is known as the ‘South American Pipeline.’… Read the rest

ARICA, Chile (Thursday, June 20, 2007) – Only seven heats of the Rip Curl Pro Chile, stop No. 4 of 10 on the 2007 Foster’s ASP World Tour, were run today, but near perfect rides were ridden in four of them.

It was a really slow and sketchy heat and the local kid knew where to surf and got a couple of 6.0s.… Read the rest

“It was a battle,” Irons said. “I was hitting the reef and getting worked, but I tried to play it smart and catch the inside waves. Damien was waiting for the sets and it was almost better to not have priority because I caught whatever came in.… Read the rest
