RIP dude, you rippped better than most in your short time on earth
Terrible.

I am heart broken for his family. To of heard he died alone in a hotel room, after missing his connecting flight home. Absolutely sucks. I am going to watch some of his surf movies tonight and get drunk.
Apparently, now, 30 people in Puerto Rico this yearQuote:

RIP Andy...
Wow...... RIP Andy
Shit, just heard about this...what a fuckin' bummer. RIP Andy.
What a loss. My closeout barrels today were for you. :(
what a drag. RIP
Hard to believe. What a loss.
So sad, vibes to the family.
I had non-hemorrhagic dengue and it knocked me on my f'n ass. Without a doubt, the worst I have ever felt in my life. There is no cure, basically tylenol and gator-aid.
Terrible News. RIP Andy.
wow, this really sucks. you just never know.
RIP
AI was a legend.
Apparently only about 1% of people with dengue fever actually die. I think it's fishy that a "world class athlete" would die from this. A couple of sources are citing that methadone use is under investigation. I hope we don't find he OD'd...

Dude had a lot of personal demons so it's certainly possible. Even more tragic if it's true.Quote:

Let's not malign the dude too fast, eh? My wife is a prof. in this stuff and she tells me that any such drugs involved could've easily been involved in pain management - for the virus, or not. And if you've ever been on serious pain meds, you know it would not be hard to get off schedule, real fast.Quote:

Been thinking a lot about that day today.

Yeah, i just read something on web md, that the pain associated with this can be excrutiating and he could have been self medicating to rid himself of joint/muscle pain.
So sad, i really cant believe this guy is dead.
I remember watching him on live streaming at the eddi a. last winter, he caught the inside resurge and was in the green room and then the wave just crushed him.
