We here at Potato Press feel very privileged to have produced the very first Andy Irons Forever Award for the 2011 Billabong Pro in Teahupo’o Tahiti.

We were involved from the design and concept stage all the way through to completion.
It was made from a combination of Laser Etched and Cut Red Cedar, A Grade Ply and Brushed Aluminum Acrylic.
All the pieces were layered on top of each other to give the trophy depth and texture.

A huge congratulations goes to Jeremy Flores from France who was awarded the trophy for the most committed surfer of the whole event.
Flores surfed unbelievably well throughout the whole comp and even scored a perfect heat, getting two 10 point rides.

Just finished the Air Tahiti Nui Von Zipper Trials, Craig Lee Memorial Trophy for 2011.

We only finished this on Friday, Dropped it down to the boys Friday Arvo, then it traveled to Teahupoo, Tahiti and was awarded to the Winner on Sunday!

All of us here at Potato Press have been huge fans of the Billabong Pro Teahupoo Tahiti for years. It was a real honor to be involved with this project from initial concepts all the way through to final product.

Congratulations to Ricardo Dos Santos of Brazil, winner of the Air Tahiti Nui Von Zipper Trials.
He now gets a shot at the title of the Billabong Pro Tahiti 2011 and will go up against all the Pro Surfers on the ASP World Tour.
