The name Bruce Irons is synonymous with innovation, progression and style in surfing and crowds gather en masse to catch a glimpse of his moves whenever he graces the water. Securing legend status long before joining the elite pro surfing ranks, Bruce Irons was always going to make an impact when up against the best of the best. His brilliant new school flashes, once rare in competition, are becoming much more frequent, and his fellow Tour mates are always nervous when drawing the young Hawaiian in a heat.

Finishing 24th on the 2007 ratings was a slight slip from 2006 but so long as Irons continues to enjoy his career as a surfer, be assured that he isn't far from returning to the event winner's circle, which will in turn see him up where he belongs in the top five surfers in the world.
