Biography
Jon Coen is a freelance writer who has contributed to Transworld Surf, Anthem, Frank 151, The Surfers Journal, and many other publications. Coen is a longtime friend of the Jetty crew and one of the hardest working guys in the industry that we have ever met. He runs his '83 Mercedes on veggie oil, owns a "green" house in Ship Bottom, NJ and has made a lasting mark on the Long Beach Island (LBI) surfing community. Jon was a pioneer in creating the Jetty Clam Jam & Coquina Jam and is also the emcee for both events each year. He surfs year-round and never takes a break from improving and educating the culture/environment that he is a part of. His contributions to Jetty both in and out of the print-world are much appreciated and unmatched.
