Pro surfer Mikala Jones, 44, died from blood loss after a surfing accident in Indonesia on Sunday. Jones was best known in Hawaii for tube-surfing, which entails riding inside the barrel of a breaking wave. “Details are a little sketchy but it sounds like he was hit by his surfboard, cut a main artery and that’s all I know,” Brian Bielmann, a photographer and friend of Jones, wrote on Facebook. While the exact circumstances of Jones’ death remained unclear, those close to Jones wrote on social media that he died after slashing his femoral artery, leading to massive blood loss.

Jones had been staying at the Awera Resort with his family, when around 9:15 a.m., he likely impaled his left groin on his surfboard fin, suffering a 4-inch-long gash, according to the surfing website Surfline, citing official reports. Jones, a 44-year-old married father of three, was involved in a freak surfing accident in the Mentawai Islands on Sunday.
