Andy mean a lot to me. I think of him every day, but please can we stop comparing AI and BI? Bruce is a great surfer and he is unique, like all of us… just ask yourself if you like it to be compared with someone else. I hate it, and being compared with my sister, I hate most. I`m sure Bruce is not like Andy. He is making his own and very different experiences: He had become a father – and believe me (I`m a mother) this changes your life totally… anyway, I wish him all the best – love and light.

Bruce is a legend. Bruce also ripped in competition and just needed to be more consistent. One of the WCTs back in France and Bruce totally comboed Kelly in 8-10 foot beachbreak. Bruce had flashes of Andys talent in competition and crazy free surfing ability at Pipe and Chopes.

dear pineapple greg.
its called a pterygium (commonly reffered to as surfers eye)
thanks for your opinion.

Bruce’s eyes are reeeeeeaaaallllllllyyyyyyyy red. Excessive visine use can exacerbate this condition along with other factors. Pinapple tree Gregg recommends a switch to Rhotos.

Normally you come down on a guy for clutching his cell during an interview, but I’ll assume Bruce was expecting a call from Pulitzer and/or Nobel and/or Mensa, so he’s forgiven.
