Jon Mozo was a well-respected and loved ocean photographer, surfer, and family man. He lived every day with an incredible passion that transcended into every aspect of his life. Jon’s most captivating works reveal an untapped world above and below the water line, that demonstrated his profound understanding of the ocean and the sense of humility that goes along with it.

Jon often risked his life to capture compelling images of natures most powerful art forms - mother ocean. On Wednesday, February 9, 2005, Jon suffered fatal head injuries while photographing Pipeline. His life and legacy is survived through his wife, his four children, 3 brothers, and his parents.

The impression Jon Mozo left as an artist and as a person continues to inspire people to be more loving, more engaged and more conscious of the beauty in and around us.

“There is a greater force, a higher power that must personally be discovered and honored to close this great circle of life and obtain true peace”.
