    thank god for this massive pair of balls he gave me, for without them, i would be just like any other guy getting shacked at chopes or pipe. but thanks to this gargantuan sack of mine, i dont even think twice when im pullin in with no hands… its second nature, its all i know…

  • James Allen Davis Says:

    Nothing…, it’s one of the few times in life where one is able to just let go of everything & become one with what I personally call “the state of maximum flow”…, when you’ve become one with the board, physics, the elements, & it’s just a moment of peace & “adrenaline” at the same time. Life…, it’s hard to beat like that.

  • mventura75 Says:

    “It is good to be home!”

  • Quik8219 Says:

  • Scott Taylor Says:

    Bruce’s Brain

    “Oh you like that dontcha? You want me to go a little deeper? Can you handle it deeper? Oh yeah, right there, that’s the spot isn’t it? I can tell you like it when I slide it riiiight here. You want some more of that? Oh I love it when you try to put the squeeze on me. You know what? I gotta go, it’s been fun, but there are some others I gotta go see next. How about we do this again tomorrow? Same time? Same place? Cool, I’m out…………….”

    And Bruce slips out the back amidst an orgasm of spit, paddles back out…and does it all over again.

  • Disco Says:

    I hope my balls aren’t hanging out the bottom of my boardies again… these things are huge!

  • macfast Says:

    i believe that many things are going through Bruce’s mind when he stands in huge barrels with no hands. bruce is an unbelievable surfer and has taken the sport to new levels. i believe he has found where he truly belongs and that is in the barrel. he doesn’t need the tour and can find his true love for the sport with out it. he is someone that needs that natural high from pulling into a monstrous barrel, whether it be at pipe or teahupoo. he embraces the true essence of the wave and appreciates the feeling and reward from getting tubed. getting barreled for Bruce is nothing knew but his love and addiction to go bigger, deeper, and charge harder is what brings him back to his place of being, which is in the barrel!

  • the radar Says:

  • jacob provo Says:

    i think its time for waves to get bigger or i need to settle down and have some groms running around

  • BDowd Says:

    he’s thinking “I’m kind of a big deal. People know me. i have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.” in other words Bruce Irons is the balls.

  • Emmett Kearney Says:

    When Bruce is in one of those huge tubes with no hands he is focused from the start, then as he is getting out he starts to laugh and think about how bad the other sponsors wish they had him on their team, and how sick of a shot his photographers got. And now that he is off the ASP World Tour, he can finally get more and more of those huge, no handed barrels, and show off his skill to the world.

  • Andrew Says:

    Bruce’s internal dialogue while barreled…

    “I felt like I was on a spaceship and, uh– I’m not sure what to do with my hands.”

    “Uh, be good just to hold them down by your side. Yeah, right.”

    “Okay. We we’re real happy with, um, with what was going on. And, uh, at the end of the day, you know, you gotta be happy.”

  • AcidReign909 Says:

    Bruce is just thinking about how amazingly lucky he is to be livin the dream and experiencing all the beauty and power mother nature has to offer while getting payed to do it.

  • Nick Says:

    Have I locked the door back home?

  • Chrontronic Says:

    I don’t know what Bruce is thinking in the tube, but if you hook me up with his mega Volcom giveway, I’ll give you a ride in my brother’s 2002 Nissan Xterra. It’s totally sweet but only
    for the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was
    possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o’clock shadow,this Nissan would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.

    It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn’t meant to transport you to yoga class or Linens & Things. No, that’s what your Prius is for. If that’s the kind of car you’re looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop.

    This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the
    highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn’t even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don’t get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn’t let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don’t even know what the hell On Star is).

    No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super
    action junkies need. It has a 265 HP engine to outrun the cops. It’s got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you’re operating on yourself. The Xterra also has an automatic transmission so if you’re being chased by Libyan terrorists,you’ll still be able to shoot your machine gun out the window and drive at the same time. It’s saved my bacon more than once.

    It has room for you and the four hotties you picked up on the way to the gym to blast your pecs and hammer your glutes. There’s a tow hitch to pull your 50 caliber anti-Taliban, self cooling machine gun. I also just put in a new windshield to replace the one that got shot out by The Man.

    My only asking is for the Bruce Mega Volcom pack or any reasonable offer. And by reasonable, I mean don’t walk up
    and tell me you’ll give me cool RVCA T as seen on the Hills or Laguna Beach, that’s liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let’s just say you won’t be the
    prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.

    Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it’s a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I’ll get back to you. And when I do, we’ll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash. To sweeten the deal a little, I’m throwing in this pair of MC Hammer pants for the man with rippling quads that can’t fit into regular pants. Yeah, you heard me. FREE MC Hammer pants.

  • Sam Joyner Says:

    Bruce is thinking about the huge section coming up and the sick punt he is going to throw off it when he gets spit out of the barrel.

  • Jason Taetsch Says:

    He’s probably thinking that neon’s comeback is lame and everyone should go back to wearing black.

  • Jama Says:

    Bruce makes the drop, slides in, and then…….SILENCE. No hands. Time stands still…….The entire world is spinning blue and green………and Bruce just IS. He is fully immersed in the here and now, attempting to tame the untamable. I’m not so sure Bruce is really ‘thinking’ about anything when he is in a massive tube. I think he just instinctually reacts to the changing world around him with an amazing amount of style and control. HOW he reacts to the wave is what makes him the best tube rider in the world. I think for Bruce, being in the tube is quite simply ‘to BE’, and ‘to BE’ is to have been born.
    Every time Bruce gets barreled he allows himself to relive what it is like to be born.
    We can make the obvious comparisons to tube riding and birth, but unfortunately most of us cannot remember what being born felt like. Likewise, most of us cannot explain what it feels like to stand in a huge tube, or what was going through our heads at the time. Often, like a dream, we can only recall little bits and pieces of what may have been the ride of a lifetime. I imagine that’s why Bruce, like so many others, keeps going back for more.

  • dude Says:

    whoa bro.. my bad, I was fooled by this lengthy tale. i thought you were getting off on your bros ride!

  • ecoguru81 Says:

    No thoughts, just the serenity of the ocean and the peace of mind that anyone who surfs achieves from being one with nature. Complete euphoria and this is why surfers do what they do and are who they are, its a connection to something greater then ones self.

  • Andrew Says:

    Hell if I know. That’s like asking somebody what they were thinking about while blowing their load, but I can tell you he’s sure as hell not thinking about the the tour, his wave score, or all the pussy judges who think he’s punkrock mindset is too immature.

  • bigoo80 Says:

    when he is in the tube his mind his truly clear, his thougts become clearer and mind not filled with every day bull s*** he realises the true power and beauty of the ocean. This is what keeps him so grounded and level headed because when he sees the size, power and strength of these massive waves he sees that he is nothing compaired to the ocean. that is what true surfing is about not trying to catch as many waves as possible but to be as free as possible.

  • thomas972 Says:

    Hello everyone at transworld, I am sport psychologist specialised in reading pro surfers’ minds. I’ve got a PhD in Surfology and in Iamsodamnuselessogy. Me, along with the brand new Volcom “scientifuck” research team, we invented this special device that’s able to connect to athletes’ brain and read people minds by radiowaves (yes, a bit like Matt Parkman in heroes, you punk TV addict). I must confess that this damn thing isn’t succesful when it comes to decode Mr Irons thoughts in the barrel. Indeed, he’s pulling into caverns so thick and get so deep in them that it is impossible for our system to reach his brain, even if we made him hold some special antennas in both of his hands (no rail grabbing but better radio-reception). So, we spent a lot of money for nothing and we are now giving up on this project as it seems now impossible for mankind to ever know what is going on in Brucey’s head when is barrelled.
    On the other hand, we could totally read out Victor Ribas’ mind, who is never really pulling in too deep, but I suppose there is no such thing as a Victor Ribas’ huge giveaway right? Dammit.
    See you around.

    I’m little bit country and a little bit punk
    I got a pistol named Sunny that whistles when he’s rubbed

    The wrong way, Mickey Avalon song playing
    Strip clubs [Incomprehensible] Bumante
    Illiterate, I seen a better day
    Wine and cheese, fine ladies and lemonade

    Gettin’ paid for rhymes like these
    And I never even learned to say my ABC’s
    With ADD I rock the beat
    Like AC/DC, please turn sheet

    Who that dude sleepin’ with ya girlfriend?
    Gettin’ nude and rude in your bed
    Same dude that your sister like
    Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right

    Who that man in a black Sedan?
    With two cheap hookers and a Mexican
    Fuck the white line, sippin’ one Coors light
    Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right

    Radio can’t wait to play me
    From K-Rock in L.A. to rooftops in Haiti
    Hey baby, he’s Mr. Wrong
    And maybe you should listen to the words in this song

    Bird on a wire, your skirt’s on fire
    Now please take a moment to admire my attire
    Fresh white valleys and pink tube socks
    Tight gray Levi’s and shirts with polka dots

    Rolex watch but it’s fake
    Gold gazelle glasses and a platinum chain
    But it’s fake like your tits
    And your eyes, and your nose, and your lips, and your braids

    The glitz in L.A. got me ready to play
    Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day
    Every night on the strip I slip and slide
    I’m that guy, call me Mr. Right

    Who that dude sleepin’ with ya girlfriend?
    Gettin’ nude and rude in your bed
    Same dude that your sister like
    Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right

    Who that man in a black Sedan?
    With two cheap hookers and a Mexican
    Fuck the white line, sippin’ one Coors light
    Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right

  • G Christenson Says:


    Waves break to acknowledge my presence,
    The sun shines primarily to bronze me to perfection,
    Barrels spit to show their respect for me,
    Sharks refuse to swim in waters near me,
    Sea Urchins curl when my feet come near them,
    Tuna seek out boats I am on to bless me with the biggest catch,
    Beer was made to quench my thirst…
    “I am the most interesting surfer in the world.”

    And I quote, “That’s when things start happening to you back there. You are looking out at the world through the spinning tunnel, you are skittering between heaven and earth, you are fighting for control of something you cannot control, and that’s when things like time begin to bend and warp. Funny thing is, you can never remember a tube ride exactly or what you felt in there. You only know that you want it again.” - Bruce Irons

  • Christine Says:

    Same thing but now I am a registered user.

Also i full bar, with a flat screen and a couple of slot machines. and for my final wish is give me the superability to never lose a contest… especially to never to lose to Kelly Slater!

  • lowery_david Says:

    What is Bruce thinking in the tube? Nothing. At this culmination of all his efforts, Bruce is operating on the level of synaptic firing and reflex arcs, his years of experience having honed his skills until they are subconscious and intuitive. As adrenaline courses through his blood stream, his heightened senses produce a subjective slowing of time. Meanwhile, endorphins released in his brain trigger a state of transcendental bliss allowing instantaneous communication between body and nature. That’s why we all envy Bruce. Not for the money. Not for the fame. But for the ability to tap into the cosmic well from which all goodness flows. A chance for which we will don briny neoprene at sunrise and jockey in overcrowded lineups.

    As for what he is thinking coming out of the tube, that’s an easy one: he’s humming his own theme song.

  • lowery_david Says:

    ha ha ha. nice.

  • Frank Says:

    hes thinking of ways he could possibly look cooler. He hasnt figured out an answer yet.

  • brandon martella Says:

    damn… it feels good to be a motha f*%!in gangsta.

  • Wendy Says:

    Deep shades of blue and turquoise fill Bruce’s vision. His facial expression serene as the deafening roar of the wave transpires into but an echo. With arms laying calmly at his side, Bruce’s body stands in perfect tune and rhythm with the ocean. His mind is in the moment, and his thoughts are not of prior events, nor future endeavors, but rather focused on the task at hand. His mind is escaping from the pressures of the world, just as all surfer’s do when their skin touches the water.

  • KEITH Says:

    AS BRUCE PULLS INTO THE TUBE AND SETS HIMSELF UNDER THE AVALANCHING CASCADE OF WATER HE IS FEELING THE STOKE OF THE MOMENT.THEN AS HE PEERS THRU THE OPENING HOLE OF THE TUBE HIS THOUGHTS TURN TO THE BEAUTIFUL MIA AS HE DREAMS OF HOLDING HER IN HIS ARMS.

  • hawaiian_surfer Says:

    There are many emotions that plunge out with no hands in huge tubes.One might be it’s just all you no other thoughts, or maybe even that you witnesses one of Earths treasured moments. But one thing for sure it’s a place that is just full of life. No worries, no cares, no nothing it’s something that we still have that is untouchable by all the things we try to get away from. So what I think that Bruce Irons is thinking about is that “I am living life.”

    Bruce is thinking “bring it on.” He’s pulling out of that immaculate Teahupoo tube with unequalled, graceful poise, as if posing the question, “is that all you’ve got?” He thinks of every wave he’s ever surfed, every morning he’s gotten up early to prepare for this moment, and every time he’s surfed this very wave in his dreams. Then comes the rush of sudden realization, the daring question, “who needs hands anyway?”

  • KEITH Says:

    BRUCE IS THINKING, HANDS DOWN IM THE BEST IN THE GREENROOM.I GOT STYLE,I GOT GRACE,I GOT HUGE TUBES SPRAYING IN MY FACE.

  • Eric Says:

    He’s probably thinking one of three thing’s. Either a some song like “Damn it feels good to be a gangster!” or “I’ve got big ball’s” . Or “ho bra dis is sick!”. Last but not least “Is it just me or isn’t this coolest thing you can do on a wave?”

  • matty Says:

    Bruce is thinking absolutely nothing. Being in a barrel is one of the times in life you feel complete and udder freedom.

  • James Says:

    Bruce is thinking, let’s see andy do this.

  • Brian William Preetz III Says:

    Bruce is thinking of nothing. His mind is clear and focused. The tube is a place for bliss… where nothing matters and everything is great!

  • Chris Says:

    Bruce Irons doesn’t think, The wave thinks “this guys got a lot of balls not grabbin his rail in me”

  • Heeter Says:

    Bruce Irons doesn’t think, The wave thinks “this guys got a lot of balls not grabbin his rail in me”

  • Heeter Says:

  • Heeter Says:

    Damn! I’m the man! I just helped Heeter kill a solid 35 minutes at work trying to come up with creative thoughts for me while i’m in the barrel, just so he can win all my gear! I’m the fuckin man!

  • Heeter Says:

  • Heeter Says:

  • Heeter Says:

  • Heeter Says:

  • Nick m Says:

    Bruce is thinkin, “wow i have made it, im in the belly of the beast and im lovin it. The best feeling in the world. This will be in the mag and ill have to give some stoked kid a bunch of gear and my signature board.” “I love it”

  • sammy t Says:

    righteous,RIGHTEOUS,RIGHTEOUS……..this is bodaciously radical.

  • Nalu11 Says:

    Bruce in thinking, “I wonder who’s buying beer tonight…I hope they got the BBQ grill going…I better hit the ATM before the crips and hold’m tonight…”

  • David Oliver Says:

    He’s thinking about how jealous Andy is going to be when he gets the cover of TWS

  • jamieransom Says:

    Bruce’s thoughts: “I’m Bruce Irons, this is MY LIFE.”

  • quicksurf91 Says:

    Guys lets admit it bruce irons probably isnt thinking about anything but getting through that tube when i surf i dont think about my next move i just to what i do and i think that goes for all surfers including bruce

  • OAKLEYSURF Says:

    He’s thinking whenever he sees another set roll in, what can’t i do on these waves? and his answer is alway nothing………..(nh)

  • skye tagami Says:

    fuck andy and everybody no
    one can touch me

  • HellGrom Says:

    Yessssa! Another day at the office.10 more of these and it’s Miller time.

  • HellGrom Says:

    If Bruce was operating hands free at Barra De LaCruz in April he might be pondering a variety of things such as…..WTF is that Israeli doing with a machete in the lineup….or…Are those groms trying to rob my shit again…or…Thanks Sean Collins for drawing attention to this spot.

  • HellGrom Says:

    Aaaaaahhhhh yyyeeaaaahhhh boooooyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

  • shawn Says:

    Yea im just this good, i wonder what i should do for dinner?

  • Becks777 Says:

    Bruce is thinking he hopes a gaint octopus does not come out of the water and try and eat him becasue Bruce would not like that. Bruce also hopes that a gaint shark named George does not want to have dinner with him because that could be bad,too. The other thing that is on Bruce’s mind is what he is going to have for dinner tonight. He could go with seafood, but the seafood gods could get angry at him for eating their children of the sea, and thrash him in the water for punishment.Bruce will most likely go with a steak dinner, becasue he knows he is cool with the meat gods and lives very far from any catlle or ranch.

  • John Stoddard Says:

    Bruce is just thinking if the waves get shitty I am going fishing today

  • KevmoSurf Says:

    Dude screw this board, tell me I wont body-surf this MOTHA using my Johnson as a Rudder! Why? Because I am that Gnarrrlllyy!

  • Bryce Baker Says:

    He has to be thinking that that is the moment he lives for and that he doesnt want it to end. every surfer loves to be on the inside of a monster tube and it gives you a thrill which you never want to leave and i know he has to think the same.

  • Heeter Says:

    That was easy!

  • Heeter Says:

    Pigdoggin is for pussies!

  • Heeter Says:

    Nothing, if he thinks he gets thrashed, Bruce reacts, and his reactions usually end up being pretty awe-inspiring clinics on how to properly navigate heaving slabs on the nohand-backhand.

  • Brandon Nunez Says:

    Extreme!

  • Heeter Says:

    HieeeYAH!

  • Heeter Says:

    That was sketchy!

  • Heeter Says:

    Airdrops on reefslabs and glass- on fin thrusters
    Bright colored rainbows and warm water Brothers
    Brown baggin cold brews tied up with strings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Blue colored Barrels and crisp offshore breezes
    Bali , Hawaii and My Island Steezy
    Wild behavior on waves watch my wings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    My Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Salt crystals that form on my trunks and eyelashes
    Silver white foamballs that melt into springs
    These are a few of my favorite things

    When the reef bites
    When the lime stings
    When I’m feeling sad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don’t feel so bad

    That’s what Bruce thinks when he’s in the tube

  • markrich Says:

    fuck yah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! take that shit monster wave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Visc Says:

    Fuck, that fag bodyboarder hasn’t seen me! If he’s got enough testosterone to go ahead,I sware I’m gonna make good use of my fin glass!

  • alester Says:

    F#@k the tour, i’ll be doing this till the day i die!

  • Eugenefel Says:

    Now I get why when the Dukes of Hazzard jumped the General Lee they screamed YEEE HAAAA

  • Eric Orvig Says:

    this is nuts,im glad he told me to grab rail less…

  • EastCoaster87 Says:

    Bruce is probably thinking; “this is why I paddle out not for the world titles but for the love of the ride.”

  • Mike Tucker Says:

    He’s not thinking, just reacting. before the wave there are probably tons of things going through his mind. Where the wave will break, can he catch it, when to paddle, was that babe checking me out last night etc. But when actually surfing he is just feeling the flow of the ocean and probably smiling and once the wave is over Irons is pure stoke.

  • Justin Clark Says:

    Bruce only has ONE thing on his mind…. THE FULLY ERECT DUDE IS THE ONE WHO GETS THE CHICK!

  • Justin Clark Says:

    jclarke805@live.com

  • Justin Clark Says:

    Or re-worded… ONLY A DUDE WHO IS FULLY ERECT CAN SCORE IN AND OUT OF THE WATER

    I LIKE THE SECOND ONE MYSELF… more implication.

  • Anorberto Tellez Says:

    True story, check out my pecks.

  • jack Says:

    He’s thinking of the immense power of the wave and the beauty and the majesty of the wave. Hes thinking that the wave is in control and he must let the wave take him along for the ride not him make a ride out of the wave but simply let the wave take him for a ride. Cuz Bruce is totally awesome so he knows that he is in the waves hands so hes thinking please let this wave take me for the ride of my life.

  • hunter55 Says:

  • kelcey parker Says:

  • Drew777 Says:

  • Rob Skitt Says:

    Hes thinking fuck I need to think of something witty so rob skitt can win this contest but it just isn’t coming!

  • thecon Says:

    He is thinking, “I hope Alana is watching.”

  • jay Says:

    bruce is thinking about his whole life up until the point he caught that wave and he crazy happy that he made all the decision so he could be doing what he loves most surfing

  • Anonymous Says:
