Amber Mozo is a 22-year-old photographer born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu. As the daughter of legendary surf photographer Jon Mozo, a former fixture in the lineups along the famed North Shore, Amber was raised with a love for both the ocean and photography.
Jon Mozo passed away while shooting photos in the water at Pipeline - he was 33 years old. Amber was only 9. Soon after her father’s passing, Amber picked up a camera and her photographic journey began.
While photography has taken Amber all around the world, shooting some of the most beautiful known surf breaks, until this winter, she hadn’t yet swam out into the lineup that stole her father’s life - Pipeline. This winter, however, under the tutelage of fellow North Shore surf photographer, Zak Noyle, Amber swam into the Pipeline lineup for the very first time during the 2018 Volcom Pipe Pro.

shoutout to the cameraman who went with them
🙌
Viet Huynh ikr no one ever says that
🙏🙏🙏
Viet Huynh red bull responded to you and hearted your comment 🤩
Is like the cameraman that follow Bear Grylls
That story is worth a complete documentary.
Alan Preciado Grijalva easily
Alan Preciado Grijalva agreed
There is a really touching documentary on Jon Mozo
Or a movie
gotta be honest here that would be one dragged out and boring documentary
No matter how good of a waterman you are, the ocean will always win. She demands your respect, or she’ll just take it from you.
Mano Stant somehow I read waterman as watermelon at first lmao
Peter Pan everyone knows this. It’s Mother Nature, and all boats are a she which is unrelated but it’s just what it’s called
that’s cringy as fuck dude
@@louisrussell1390 you dont even know what cringe is bruh. watch some failed handshake videos
Ew
I would pay to see this made into a movie.
you should watch point break (2015)
Mutiny 1855 you always pay to see movies
ELfuego exactly what i was thinking
||-//
||-//
her dad was one of the most outstanding photographers of the ocean and surfing. I have some of his one sheet photos from his early years. Miss his freedom of personality towards the ocean.
robert bennett cool
"being in his place made me understand why he let this place take his life" wow.
But why tho?
michael rogers what she was saying is it’s beautiful and worth it, I’m sure that’s what every big wave surfer will tell you cause they know there life is on the line most of the time
@@jordaneglis7380 thanks
michael rogers np broski
Gaaaaaaa ayyyyyy
Man I can’t imagine swimming there. I almost drowned at a normal beach at high tide, imagine this holy sh*t
BRUH JUST LIKE ME MAN! I WAS GETTING PULLED IN LIKE WOLF PULLING HIS PREY!! THAT STUFF IS SCARY MAN!! straight up
semmy ngoue Exactly. Don’t fuck with rip currents
it's 3:00 am in west cali rn and i'm so sleepy but i'm here watching a documentary
Same here. I almost drowned in Tenerife many years ago as the breakers pulled me out over and over again. And that was of course not that huge swell.
Bruh my booty hurts Lol I can’t even swim and a little wave comes😭
“We all come from the sea. But we are not all of the sea. But those of us who are, we must return to it, again, and again.” This girl is what makes that quote true
That quote is so hauntingly beautiful everytime. I love it
The sea is in my heart, but she's terrifying sometimes.
Great story. Brave daughter.
thanks
Frank Johnson doesn’t make her not brave it’s dangerous just getting in the water lmao stfu
And she wasn’t fucking there to swim into it god damn u didn’t even listen to the story she fucking went there to be in her fathers place when he died to see what it was like but she could’ve died and if she would have swam into the fucking wave she would’ve literally committed suicide and that’s not what she was there to do fucking idiot
How is she brave 😑😑😑
@@slash-kv1sc what
Those last few sentences. Really powerful. Thank you for this.
U related to Julia Roberts

For those who are wondering:
These are huge waves, but you might be wondering "they aren't as big as Nazaré
s waves, so why are they considered the deadliest?" the answer is, there is a razor-sharp coral reef under the water. If you get smashed under a wave you will probably get smashed into a coral reef.
It’s not razor sharp reef. It’s cavernous jutting reef. It’s deadly because you can get body parts caught in the crevices and drown or you can hit your head and lose consciousness.
While there is coral nearby towards the end of the ride and you could get hurt, the deaths happen in the impact zone where the impact of the lip doesn’t allow for coral species to develop. And it’s not coral reef. It’s volcanic reef. Which is even more dangerous.
Well they should mention that its the deadliest surf spot, not the deadliest wave
it’s also 4 feet deep
Of course there are a multitude of breaks that are potentially deadlier, but (most) people have the self-preservation instinct to avoid them. This is usually because the most dangerous type of wave (huge slabs, correct me if I'm wrong), with the exception of Teahupoo, usually look as dangerous as they are, with tons of boils and steps on heaving, vertical walls of water, with ludicrously heavy lips that break into water a couple feet deep or less, or sometimes even dry rock. Pipeline and Teahupoo, on the other hand, are much more inviting to surf (relatively speaking).
Thank you, I was, in fact, wondering this.
They’re over here surfing the worlds deadliest waves when I’m here running away from a ripple lol
me.
I run from the nose little wave in the beach
Issie Xs LMAO ME
You are the sensible one.
Issie Xs well you better run faster coz that means a T. rex is stomping towards you
Having bodyboarded Pipeline when waves were somewhat small for the spot, I can tell you the place is intimidating. Has a legendary status to it. Sharp reefs are inches from you at the closest points while you're speeding along on a wave. Cool to see this girl face her fear and reconnect with her Dad in a way.
TonyZXT same bro, one wrong move and you can end up badly hurt
TonyZXT yup, my brother in law gashed his leg up on the reefs pretty good one year out surfing pipe.
Da reef start here..
Da wave breaks here..
Don't be there, or your gonna get Drilled
🐢
..... ... ..
One of my friends was surfing Pipeline during a somewhat high tide and he fell off of his surf board and got thrashed around and he just his calf open and had to get 41 stitches that place is gnarly
1:15 gave me goosebumps after learning what the title meant
same bru!
What does it mean?
chloe :3 Amber is forgiving pipeline for causing the death of her father
Ashley oh lmao I thought that you meant the name pipeline
Wow. I personally think - what makes it so powerful - is that the story took us through so honest, heartfelt and pure emotions in under 6 minutes. You don't get those kind of moments anywhere else on the Internet than TH-cam.
Wow, thanks! 🙌
James
Such an amazing daughter, your father would be so proud!
"beeing in his place made me understand why he let this place take his life" WOW that was strong
This comment seems similar 🤔 hmmmm ( I saw the same commment but it was 11 months old
This video made me realize how important audio and sound effects are to a movie/video clip. Adds so much emotion and layers to the story
Aloha Amber, your father was an incredible human being. One who lived his passion behind the camera. 15 years ago Jon blessed us with his Love and Aloha as he was our photographer for our wedding at the Ko'olau Ballrooms. We miss you Jon...
geez she’s stunning and her photography skills are incredible
Incredible story and video, this moved me. I never comment on TH-cam, thank you for this.
Some may say this is a 'Furst' for you.
Dylan Furst ii
may be his furst but not his last
R.I.P Jon Mozo. Nice video Red Bull!
R.I.P. Jon and Mark Foo too
and Eddie
As a photographer that hits hard man
Respect for those skills to shoot like that on those conditions
At 1:38 i was like, wow. She's gorgeous. And her persistence is incredible.
No I'm not crying. Your crying
Something in my eye, that's all.
Ian kearns *you’re
I cried!
I'm crying because you mis spelled you're
Dylan, I'm crying 'cause you've putted that spacebar :C

Red Bull sure! Please
Absolutely!
Yess!
Yep
For sure ! Maybe the impacts of new technologies (drones, affordable semi-pro equipment,...) on sports photography !!
This could have been like a 2hr movie 👏
*PIPELINE*
II WOOFY II There is a film, it’s called Chasing Mavericks
Wow. Cinematography on this film is on fire. What a beautiful and and fitting tribute to her father
Loved her Dads shots in surf mags... he always got the goods. Good luck young wahine!
Wow! This moved me to tears. So sorry for your loss Amber. Thank you for your courage and also for understanding what your father was all about. Great video!,
This story is soothing to the soul..I can feel her passion for photography and her great love for her father.
I am happy that she found the strength to face pipeline and feel her fathers presence protecting her as she experienced what he loved to do.
His amazing pics were proof that it was his calling in life.
keep his passion alive!!
💪🍀♥️⭐
this moved me on levels I can't explaining words; thank you Red Bull.
So nice to hear! 🙌
Glad to see Amber carry on her dad’s art! Maika’i to this Wahine. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🏄🏽🏄🏻♀️ Zack Noyle much respect ✊
That footage is soooo awesome to watch!
But RIP Jon Mozo😢😭
More props to the camera man that he did all of this
Amber, your dad was a fkn hero! I still remember reading about him surviving that shark attack at Goat Island when I was a young kid in Kailua. I was so sad to hear about his death years later. The way you went out to conquer your fears is an inspiration to us all.
I grew up in the plains of Nebraska a thousand miles from the ocean. But standing in endless fields of corn I could feel the ocean tug at me . And the first time I saw the Pacific crashing on the shore I knew why. It's wisdom to seek and understand the spirit and power there in.
This is amazing, she has so much courage
This was in my to watch list for months. And now i watched it. Amazing. I wish i could live such a life. What an amazing human being.
It seems so dangerous but there is Jamie O’Brien surfing Pipe on a couch
Seriously. Sometimes I wonder if he's even mortal.
*Im not crying, I’m just in shock. So inspired. This was stunning and beyond perfect. Forever a favorite* 💛💛🙏
I love the red bull media house videos, they just get better with each one. would love to see some more behind the scenes of action photography
Just came back from Oahu and surfed at Waikiki a few times during my stay and was the first time I've ever surfed. Dude, I fell in love. There's something so serendipitous about being out there and being at the hands of the ocean and what she decides, there's a level of peace you feel that no matter what happens I'm okay. Watching these surfers fight their way just to get out there and I then after surfing and seeing the location realized I had zero idea of the work and dedication these surfers had to expend. RIP to her father but everything she said I understood. If you're going to go, doing something you love to do at one of the most popular surf locations in the world, is definitely the way to do it. Mahalo.
That was an incredible edit. Bravo to the editing team. Wow
Thanks! 🙌
what a great story and awesome production. Thank you for sharing.
Woah, at 2:09 thats my ipad wallpaper
I think lol
Good choice.
Its not u can compare them but if its the default wave wallpaper then no its not
i like the next one more,use that one shit head
Carnage Dogg ...it’s just a wallpaper...
So refreshing to see a comment section on a video about a woman of power doing something out of passion and none of the comments are about her looks. All focused on the beauty and power of the content. Beautiful.
This is like the best thing Ive ever watched. Red Bull for the Winn!!
Just from the beginning I loved the story. So sorry you lost your dad.
Love this! “Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of those who came before us, seek what they sought.”
this could be a full length movie...this girl, her father's lineage/talent/death, and her camera...totally absorbing and beautiful.
I just got my very first wave and have had a hard time getting back in for some reason (I'm a total wuss?) This inspired me very much thank you...
Man, I'm glad people are respectful here. This is really heavy. brought me to tears
This is incredible and I take my hat off to this lady and anyone else willing to go out there!
Such a great story told here. Really gives me goosebumps!
Wow this story evokes so many emotions. I have such envy and massive appreciation of your courage and connection with the ocean. Sadness fo your loss. Joy and tears for recognising and challenging your fears. You truly live life. You are LIFE. Thank you for being so raw and sharing with us your awe-inspiring journey. You are a beautiful inspiration.
So brave to go out to the place that took her fathers life, and learn to forgive and respect that place, so much power and emotion is this video you could see that it meant a lot to her. Pipeline is so powerful and amazing and beautiful!!!!🙏
This deserves a full documentry👌🏻👏
Thank you for the thoughtful comment @Sienna's Life 🙌🏽
Im getting Moana vibes over here×D
Yess
Wow the ocean is soooo beautiful and yet soooo intimidating great story makes u think don't take for grated anything just like that it can be taking from you and what a nice smile on u amber 😀😀
those last few words were truly beautiful and meaningful. this is a beautiful video and i have just gained so much respect for ocean photographers.
So powerful, i felt the intense emotions she must have had facing that wave while just sitting here on my couch, so brave girl and very creative video production... BRAVO!!!
an incredible story - and beautifully told!
Just shows how dangerous the wave is, especially for the surfers who are actually in the waves you see pictures of
Yup, and this film is also a great window into how dangerous it is for the photographers who capture those surfers at Pipe
@@RedBullSurfing it seems like the photographer has a mote deadlier job then the surfera
Wow what a beautiful story and your dad is always with you everywhere you are ❤️
WOW!! This is an incredible short film, an absolute masterpiece in and of it's own!!
So glad I chose to watch this!! Thank you!!
As well.....sincere compliments to the entire film crew.......fabulous work in all regards!!
Remarkable to get so much thought, feeling and emotion packed into just six minutes!!
I hope Ms. Amber Mozo has a wonderful, lifelong career with her incredible profession!!
Didn't skip a single second of this video
One of not many amazing video
Thanks for letting us know 🙌🏽 Definitely an amazing film!
he died doing what he loves as passion, and had people that loved him too.
This is so sooo good, those thoughts of Amber and that story is something special. Beautiful narration and video. I just got so emotional. ♥
Being a father, is there a greater wish than that? Passing down the love you have for something, the passion, the energy and fulfillment. To not only experience yourself, but to have your child actually understand and get it. To create that spark, but even on a grander scale have her see it and seize it, conquer it. There is no greater gift he could have given her, and she was brave enough to embrace it.
Damn this is beautiful, and so is she.
well done guys. super powerful. i think all action sports can bring that feeling out in people and i think that is what we all seek
Wow! I watched this just recently and I was inspired. This is a truly amazing story and I go out on very small days and it feels peaceful watching the waves go by. I would love to see this story made into a movie. Great video.
My deepest sorrow for the loss of a legend, husband, father, a family member and friend to many. His photography was truly awe inspiring! He puts you right in the action what I would recall; The impact zone! To give you that feel just before retreating to safety! That’s a true photographer......
So inspiring!! Thank you for sharing this with the internet
You are welcome, Hailey!
I haven't got something in my eye - you've got something in your eye! This is a beautiful short film - I agree with others, would be great to make into a full length movie!
This is so captivating! Just beautifully done and full of emotions❤️ I love videos like this so much..So wonderful.
This would be an awesome movie. This is so beautiful! Greatest 5 minutes I think I've spent in a long time.
Absolutely gorgeous and such a brave girl your father would of been proud
Incredible Story Applause/Standing Ovation
Great people supporting each other.......so cool see you out there some time
As a photographer myself, this is a very inspirational story that needs to be expanded on. Please someone make a longer documentary about Amber and her amazing father, Jon!
This is a great video, actually more like a beautiful short story
Thanks! 🙌
awesome video quality!! Great video!
Great story! Keep those photos coming they’re amazing
Pipeline exists.
It does not give.
It does not take away.
We are the people who trespass into it’s beautiful nightmare.
The burden of acceptance lies with us.
This video is a wonderful tribute.
This is incredible
Those waves a breathe taking!!!
This needs to be a movie, this is amazing.
Chills through my heart. So powerful. Thank you.
Touching story. God bless.
🙌
so incredibly inspiring and beautiful💙🌊
That's really nice to hear! 🙌
Goose bumps all over me! Amazing piece of film!
