Pipeline View / Photographer John Jones

Photographer John Jones, a resident of Rocky Point on the North Shore of Hawaii, is deeply connected to the surfing culture through his family’s rich history in the sport. Living in one of the world’s most iconic surf destinations, Jones has spent his life immersed in the waves and the lifestyle that surrounds them. However, it’s when the bustling surf season quiets down that John’s photography truly shines. In the off-season, he captures the serene beauty of the North Shore, focusing on the tranquil landscapes, the stillness of the ocean, and the subtle remnants of the vibrant surf culture that lingers even after the crowds have left. His images offer a unique perspective on a place known for its intensity, revealing a softer, more introspective side of the North Shore that few get to see.
