13th Annual Iron’s Brothers Pinetrees Classic What started 13 years ago with humble prospects has now turned into a largely successful community surf event on Kauai’s North Shore. The 13th Annual Iron’s Brothers Pinetrees Classic took place on April 19th at Pinetrees, beginning at 7am and running through the day for keiki surfers ages 5 through 12. Danielle Irons, mother of surfers Bruce and the late Andy Irons, says the event itself is much more than simply a surf contest. “It’s a really beautiful event. Always has been. As it grows, more and more it becomes a community day. Thousands of people show up.” T-shirts, backpacks, hats, posters and trophies were given out, plus even a handful of surfboards to stoke out a few lucky keiki.
