Legendary surfer Andy Irons has died at the age of 32.
Pete Thomas Outdoors is reporting that the three-time world champion passed away during a layover en route from Puerto Rico to his home in Hawaii, according to the surfer's main sponsor, Billabong.
Irons, who was raised on Kauai, became ill during the Rip Curl Pro Search Puerto Rico, the ninth of 10 events on the 2010 ASP World Tour. He was apparently suffering from symptoms similar to those associated with dengue fever.
Irons is survived by his wife, Lyndie, as well as his younger brother, Bruce, who is a former World Tour competitor.
