Heute vor 12 Jahren (2.11.2010) verstab der dreifache (2002, 2003 & 2004) US-amerikanische Surfweltmeister Andy Irons im Alter von 32 Jahren auf dem Rückflug von Puerto Rio an einem Herzinfarkt.
Der Surffilm Andy Irons: Kissed by God (2018) ist eine Hommage an sein Lebenswerk. Wegbegleiter wie Bruce Irons, Kelly Slater und Andy Irons Witwe Lyndie erzählen die Geschichte über ein Rock’n’Roll-Leben und den Tod eines genialen Surfers.
