Podcasts about Andy Irons

Season 15 of The Temple of Surf Podcast begins with an extraordinary episode featuring legendary surf photographer Patrick Eichstaedt, known around the world simply as Tupat. For decades, Tupat has been one of the key visual storytellers of surf culture, documenting some of the most iconic moments and personalities ever seen in the sport. From his early years growing up in Florida to eventually finding himself immersed in the powerful and unforgiving energy of Hawaii's North Shore, Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt witnessed surfing history unfold directly through his lens. In this exclusive opening episode of Season 15, we explore Tupat's personal journey into surf photography, the evolution of surf culture through the decades, and the unforgettable experiences he lived while documenting one of the most influential eras in modern surfing history, the rise of Andy Irons, Bruce Irons and Sunny Garcia on Hawaii's legendary North Shore. This was not simply competitive surfing. This was a cultural movement. The North Shore during those years represented intensity, progression, raw power and authenticity. Pipeline, Backdoor, Sunset Beach and Waimea became the stage where some of the most fearless surfers on Earth pushed the limits of what was possible in heavy waves. Tupat was there for all of it, capturing moments that today are part of surfing mythology. Throughout the episode, Tupat shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories from life on the North Shore, discussing the atmosphere in Hawaii during that generation and the personalities that shaped the sport forever. His photographs helped define the visual identity of surfing during a transformative period, appearing in magazines, editorial projects and surf media around the world. What makes this episode even more special is that Tupat personally allowed The Temple of Surf Podcast to feature rare and unique archival video materials directly on our YouTube channel. These are authentic historical moments from one of surfing's most important eras, offering viewers an opportunity to experience the energy and emotion of the North Shore in a way that few people ever could. For surf fans, historians, photographers and lovers of ocean culture, this episode is a true journey through time. Beyond the famous names and legendary waves, Tupat speaks about the human side of surf culture, friendship, risk, creativity, respect for the ocean and the deep connection between photographers and surfers in the water. We also discuss how surf photography has evolved over the years, from film cameras and water housings to the digital era and social media explosion. Tupat reflects on what has been gained and what may have been lost in modern surf culture, while reminding us why authentic storytelling and real moments still matter today. This conversation captures the soul of surfing: early mornings on the North Shore, massive winter swells, the tension in the lineup at Pipeline, the dedication required to document dangerous waves, and the passion that drives surfers and photographers alike to keep chasing unforgettable moments in the ocean. If you are passionate about surf history, Hawaiian surf culture, legendary photographers, vintage North Shore energy and the generation that changed surfing forever, this episode is absolutely not to be missed.

Thanks bru. Thanks bru. Thank you, bru. By episode twelve, Jordy Smith had become StabMic's absent father figure. Big Bru was mentioned constantly, looming every conversation. Dooma, especially unable to stop himself, damp-eyed, remembering him. Sooner or later, the spectre had to sit in the chair. So here he is. Jordy Smith joins Dane and Dooma on episode 13 of StabMic to discuss everything from rectal and scrotal trauma, the latter attributed to a swift kick from Andy Irons, the limitations of wavepools, and the mainstream-media–manufactured rivalry that defined their early careers. Among other highly specialised matters of public interest. Enjoy the episode.

Dane is back. Mercy. Things resume. To watch along visit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krloTW3PL1k Dane has become almost synonymous with anti-competition, his exit at the peak of his powers romanticised, mythologised even, into a Reynoldsian legend. An episode dedicated to the start of the WSL season, then, seems an odd fit. But Dane was a competitor once, which gives him a rare vantage: an outsider's mind once lodged inside the system. His eyes are sharp and wisened from walking the floors himself, which makes talking competitive surfing with him an interesting experiment. Josiah and Dooma sit him down and prod for his take on the Aussie Treble, what competing at every stop taught him, why shaper non-monogamy is weird, trading boards with Andy Irons, and more.

Joel Parkinson is a Gold Coast surfing icon; a CT standout with 11 CT wins, 3 Hawaiian Triple Crowns, 4 World Runner-Ups, the 2012 World Champion, and is globally-renowned as one of the most stylish and consistent competitors in modern surfing history.  In this year's first episode of The Lineup, he reflects on the journey that defined his career. Parko opens with the grassroots of Australian surfing, from Snapper Rocks Boardriders' 60+ year history to why club culture remains the backbone of the sport. He rewinds the tape back to when he was a young 11-year-old grom signing with Billabong for discounted boardshorts–and three decades later, still part of the team, a partnership that endured the ups and downs of brand-athlete relationships in surfing. He reveals how close he came to jumping ship to Rip Curl as a teenager, the jaw-dropping offer from Quiksilver in his early 20s, and why loyalty ultimately won.  Parko reflects on sharing a team with legends like Mark Occhilupo, Taj Burrow, and Luke Egan, and what it was like witnessing Andy Irons at his peak during the Blue Horizon era. He also shares the unforgettable story of Andy claiming the top room at the Billabong house in Hawaii—rankings be damned. The conversation shifts to life on Tour: traveling with his wife and kids long before it was common, the emotional toll of chasing a World Title while raising a family, and why his wife “deserves more of a World Title” than he does.  Parko opens up about nearly quitting in 2011 after a brutal New York event, how letting go reshaped his mindset, and the constant mental weight surfers carry when fighting for a Top 5. He dives into his rivalry and lifelong friendship with Mick Fanning and Dean Morrison, addresses the “style” narrative that followed him throughout his career, and gets deep into board talk—from early DHD days to his long partnership with JS Industries, including the mythical board that went 17 heats undefeated.
