Watch: Surf Footage Pays Homage to the Late Mikala Jones
Mikala Jones loved surfing.
He also loved sharing it with others, often getting barreled with his GoPro in hand.
Now thanks to the latest release of a compilation of his footage , we get a chance to see the beauty of surfing through his eyes.
Robbie Crawford posted the video above and captioned it:
"Mikala’s art is the greatest most progressively immersive surf media of all time ?? @peacebel @isabellajones___ @violetjones____ ??"
The post's opening clip says:
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MIKALA JONES
A HUMBLE ARTIST

Crawford's vid is a montage of barrels and beauty shot by Jones while surfing.
Throughout the video, Jones shares thoughts on surfing and filming waves.
Check out a few of them below:
"You know what it comes from? It's just, like, a love of surfing."
"I'm just trying to be creative and just try different things. It's something different. I feel like I'm evolving, the technology is evolving and I'm evolving with it."
"I'm stoked to like, capture those images and show people visions they can't see normally, so I'm glad to be here and be a part of it."
The last frame in the video said:
