Andy Irons: Kissed by God

I saw Andy Irons place his feet in cement at the Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame and found his somewhat bashful manner endearing. I knew nothing of his struggles and was surprised when I learned of his death. This movie reveals his struggles along with his triumphs intelligently and interestingly. It's a well done documentary by any measure. And has some fantastic surfing sequences!

Great insights into a great surfer Lots of extended personal video footage Great testimonials by those closest to him A must see for any human being, don't have to be a surf follower to be engrossed in this movie

My brother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years ago and I myself feel I also suffer from bipolar disorder, though I was never told that by a physician. I know what it's like to go from having a great day to wanting to just end it all in a matter of minutes. I like Andy, turned to self medication (no opioids) to relieve the constant feeling of depression, anger and basically no self esteem.

Anyway enough about me, it's just utterly amazing how someone bipolar that is constantly self medicating with hard drugs can be a 3X world champion. It's an astonishing feat, I just wish he could have fought off the demons and lived a somewhat normal life.

RIP Andy, the pain is now gone.

I grow up as a kid with a family member that had by polar, surfing at that time was the only thing that saved me . So for me this film is close to personal . Andy may you Rest In Peace

As a huge Andy Irons fan fiend many years, I have been very sceptical about this docu/film. All I can say is wow, it's just perfect. Never again will you see this personal into a pro surfers life. So many unseen childhood video shows and pictures and stories from his school friends. Bruce and Lindie give the film an emotional feel and really tell the story of Andy's struggle through the years. 10/10 from me
