How incredible is that barrel Andy gets in the clip.

Bummer-he really was the surfer's surfer.

... f uck ing mosquitos! The little bastards got me, but lucky for me it was only Ross River Fever and not Dengue!!

Still spun out over this news!!

Terrible news

R.I.P. Andy

damn!!!!! a surfing legend!!! R.I.P
will always be one of the best surfers of All Time!

I guess the moral of the story is don't under-estimate Dengue Fever... One of our own Dereck (of DC boards) recently got Dengue also, luckily he understood what it could do to you and quickly went straight to hospital for observation. He was in intesive care for a week and was on a breathing machine. Luckily he has now made a full recovery.
I feel (only from what I have heard) that under the circumstances A.I.'s death could have been fully preventable, which makes this tragedy even more sad. He also is having a child very soon to. R.I.P Andy, I hope your son grows up to take your place as one of the best surfers ever.

If you are in a zone with dengue or ross river and you are feeling some symptoms please take it seriously.

Just heard on the tv news, they now are saying it might have been a methadon(spelling) overdose as it was found next to he's bed.
Hope that isnt true

He had a Coke addiction before didn't he? Now the news is saying "death yet to be determined"... and that methadone was found beside his bed along with a number of other drugs... Heath Ledger? weird stuff.

Yeah I just heard that on the news too , media ballooning the story ???

What a way to assassinate someone's character.....

Report that 'suggestions' of drugs found?

Battle a 'reported' drug addiction?

Bloody parasitic reporting trying to glorify rumours without having the guts to actually say it.

If it is true, wait for PM to confirm CoD.

If it's not true, who will cop the kick up the arse for the lies??

RIP Andy, sympathies to your kin. Really sorry for your child.

Looks like he checked himself out of hospital in Dallas to go home to Hawaii. He was too sick to fly so he checked in to a hotel in Dallas where he died.

He died of Dengue fever. It's very unlikely that drugs had anything to do with it.
