About Bruce
Every sport needs an anti-hero, someone not afraid to walk his own line and forge his own path. In surfing, no one has played that role more emphatically than the ever-brash-but-always-honest Bruce Irons. From his modest beginnings on the North Shore of Kauai to gracing the covers of every major American surf magazine, Bruce has proven himself time and again worthy of the limelight both in and out of the water.
Bruce has literally elevated the sport by redefining what a proper punt should look like: relaxed, lofty, and oozing style. But restricting him to being an "air guy" is like calling Michael Jordan a "good shooter." Equally adept in the massive caverns of Teahupoo and Pipeline, Bruce epitomizes the quintessential all-around surfer, capable in wedgey, ramp-stocked beachbreak as well as death-defying waves of consequence. As a professional surfer, Bruce has cemented his name among the world's best as a Pipeline specialist, a Rip Curl Search event winner, and the 2004 Eddie Aikau champion.
After five years traveling the world competing on the WCT, Bruce married his longtime girlfriend Mia and retired his contest jersey in order to shift his focus to Irons Brothers Productions, a surf film production company. When not working with all things celluloid, Bruce is planning on delving headfirst into his other passion: fishing. That is, of course, when he's not traveling the world and getting completely shacked in the process.
