Hawaiian pro surfer Mikala Jones has died at the age of 44 following a fatal accident while surfing in Indonesia’s Mentawai Islands on Sunday.
Jones was known throughout the surfing world for the mesmerizing photos and videos he took while riding inside of breaking waves, offering a unique first person perspective into the sport. The exact details surrounding his death are unclear. Jones’ daughter Isabella wrote on Instagram that her “dad got into a bad surfing accident and didn’t make it,” adding that she is “in so much disbelief.
The apparel company Reef, for which Jones was previously an ambassador, issued a statement in his memory, calling Jones “a contemporary surfing POV content creator ahead of his time” and “arguably one of the most barreled surfers on the planet.” Surf photographer Brian Bielmann shared a photo of Jones on Instagram, writing “Our friend Mikala Jones passed away yesterday in The Mentawais while surfing the waves he loved.. I’m so sorry and send prayers to his family.
