The TERRIFYING Last Minutes of Surfer Mikala Jones
Legendary Hawaiian big wave surfer Mikala Jones tragically passed away at 44 after a horrific surfing accident in Indonesia. Known for his stunning photos shot from inside giant curling waves, Mikala was admired for his artistic eye and courage in the water. His shocking death has profoundly saddened the tight-knit surfing community, who loved Mikala for his humility despite his daring skill. Mikala's father John is utterly heartbroken over the loss of his deeply loved son, who lived to be in the ocean with his camera. Photographer Woody Woodworth praises Mikala's work as unmatched, recalling one iconic shot in particular that encapsulated his singular talent. Though taken too soon, Mikala inspired countless surfers by capturing the sublime beauty of riding waves from thrilling new perspectives. His vibrant spirit lives on through his images, which will continue motivating new generations to chase the joy of surfing. Mikala Jones embodied that joy, and his absence leaves an enormous void in the surfing world.

So much respect to Mikala for his unbelievable artistry - both on the surfboard and behind the lens. What an amazing legacy he's left.
No disrespect meant towards Mikala - I had considerable respect for his surfing and cutting edge camerawork. But this documentary is a disappointment in several respects. This narrator's "voice" I've heard in other non-surf related productions. I think it's quite possibly computer generated. If you can't have a real person do a narration (and in this case - that person should surf), then why bother making this documentary at all? Secondly, they threw up a map of Indonesia as the narration was talking about the Mentawais. There was an arrow pointing at Sulawesi, which has no ridable surf to speak of, and is 1,000 miles from the Mentawais. That's as far as I could watch this bogus production, and I turned it off.
I'm a filipino surfer and once had a chance to surf with him here in the Philippines in our town baler. He inspired a lot of surfers here in baler because of his great skills on surfing. Lots of respect to him and sorry for the loss of the family. RIP Mikala. You will always be remembered. 😢
Very sorry to hear of such a tragic loss. Earlier pioneers of the "in-the-tube" footage, like Ronnie Burns ended up meeting a similar fate. But as I have said to my own close circle of friends and loved ones every year I go on my surfing Odyssey... "Be it known, that if I do not return this year, I went out of this world doing the thing I love... riding the wild surf, and following the dream." Deepest sympathies to Mikala's family and close friends. What a guy!
Truly tragic, and my sympathy to all affected. Others please consider sanding sharp fins back. In a life time of surfing they are going to hit you - sharp or less sharp. Sanding them does not guarantee safety, but it is a simple measure that slightly improves your odds.
Peace be with Mikala and his Family.

Tragic......however he died loving life and doing the thing he loved so much. Actually there is nothing like surfing in the sports world!
Descanse en Paz.
I've always been so invious of Mikala and thought he lived the dream! R.i.p. brother
You're map shows nowhere near the Mentawais... RIP Mikala.
if non surfers understood the skill and innate knowledge of water dynamics and reading waves well enough to hold a camera while deep in the pit.... sigh
RIP Mikala
RIP😢

RIP You will never be Forgotten

A compression stitch in the water until he arrived in the ambulance and maintained during the 6-mile journey to hospital would have saved him, without any necrosis.
The AI voice takes away from this video massively
Moral of the story, always use a thick wetsuit when surfing
The best thing to do would have been to compress directly above the section of artery, between the cut and the heart; but not with a tourniquet, but rather with a compression point. These points used to be taught, but are no longer, despite having saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the past. The reasons for this are allegedly possible necrosis and the ineffectiveness of the technique. To check the truth of these reasons, ask first-aid trainers or firefighters in various specialties! You'll see that none of this is really very true, and you'll begin to wonder, as I do: is the world influenced by people who really want to help life?
Sharper than usual fins, I understand why, poor guy shit he must of lost so much blood. And certain arteries will bleed you out even with a tornigue. I hope he past out because the pain would of been horrendous. Some mercy I hope. Fin chops suck, I hope you are up there in peace, Whether you are a bigwave surfer or average guy. It doesn't matter.

one cook surfer one day cutted my board almost in half...
Respect to Mikala and his family but this is a AI generated robotic rip off
Easy to get cut on the reef too
Shit happens......
The narrator should have at least learned how to pronounce his name correctly!
