Bruce Irons, 25
Hanalei, Kauai

He may spend some time in his big brother’s shadow, yet ask any pro and they’ll tell you Bruce is as good as, if not more talented than Andy. He’s an aerial specialist and big wave charger and though his contest record is spotty, Irons won the 2001 Pipe Masters and the 2004 Eddie in 30-foot surf at Waimea.
