'Blue Horizon' Tour Dates
Following the success of The Occumentary tour, Jack McCoy is heading back on the road this May with Dave ‘Rasta’ Rastovich to celebrate Blue Horizon and honour the memory of one of the greatest surfers of all time, Andy Irons.
The film follows the journeys of two of the world’s best surfers, both whom took a different path – Rasta chose to escape the spotlight and search for perfect waves across every corner of the globe, whilst Irons became the most famous surfer on the planet by plying his trade on the then-ASP World Tour.
Incredibly, McCoy began shooting the feature film in 2002 and captured Irons’ treble of World Titles, and the intense rivalry he shared with Kelly Slater which reached boiling point when Irons took down Slater in the final of the final event of the year at Pipeline to claim the 2003 World Title.
The film won many awards including 2004 Surfer Movie of The Year, while Rasta and Irons toured 10 countries putting on 156 screenings in front of over 90 000 people. As is always the case in Jack McCoy's films, it features an iconic soundtrack.
McCoy will deliver his trademark 'talk story' presentation at each show where he’ll share unseen footage and stories from throughout the production. Rasta and McCoy will be joined by some of Andy’s closest friends and fellow ASP competitors such as Mark Occhilupo, Taj Burrow, Jake Paterson, Nathan Hedge, Phil McDonald, Paul ‘Antman’ Paterson with more to be announced.
11 x World Champions Kelly Slater has also confirmed he’ll also make an appearance at the shows that his schedule allows to share an insight into what will go down as one of the biggest rivalries in surfing history.

Classic drop in stare from Rasta, fix your eyes anywhere but behind
Worth the price of admission alone. Would love to see it.
Clearly there's no surfers in SA
This could be down to Jack's health at the moment. He's been extremely sick and might only be able to so much.
Ah, yer a good egg, TH, and that may well be the case..
all shakas to Jack, good on him for being a generous sharer.
we are realistic though and secretly don't mind in SA,
it's east coast disinterest that keeps so many of our waves empty..
Like I say, as long as WA and Tas don't get a thing, SA is OK with not getting it.
WHAAAT??? 3 dates in WA??
@baseix I rest my case! :)
