Bruce Irons, dynamo beachie, Mexico

Reckon Bruce Irons enjoyed his trip to Mex with Nathan Fletcher? The Hawaiian and his long-time pal take an annual sojourn down there to stuff themselves in as many caves as they can. Obvs with a photo like this, your eyes are first drawn to the surfer packing the thing, especially when it’s one as charismatic as Mr. Irons, but then you might glance over to the exploding trail of foam and observe how high it is in the air. And you realise just how dynamic a wave like this can be. Factor in that this is an unpredictable Mexican beachie (and one renowned for taking no prisoners, which is the most important factor of all), and you could maybe call this a rather fierce situation. The very kind that Bruce blossoms in.
