Axel has the world’s surfing expectations placed on his head, a unavoidable position when your dad is the legendary Andy Irons.

Luckily, four year old Axel is too busy living in paradise on the Island of Kauai to care about that.

This little guy might not be quite on his dad’s level just yet, but is already catching waves, as well as being a pretty rad skater.

Is anyone surprised?  We didn’t think so.
