My son and daughter-in-law just returned from Kauai last night.
He almost didn't make it back at all. He one of only three or four other people swimming at Polihale Beach last Wed afternoon.
The waves were rough and continuous. He told us that he kept getting slammed into the surf, swallowed a lot of water and told us he didn't think he was going to make it back to shore.
He finally washed up on a sand bar and was finally able to get back to the beach.
Scared the S**T out of him!!
That's when he told us about the other guy out there that DIDN'T make it back. I found this article about him.

When I think about how close this could have been a report about my son instead of Peter Unzeitig, it still scares me.
My heart goes out to the Unzeitig family.
