His recollection comes following numerous shark attacks off Maui’s shores.
Last month, a 73-year-old man survived a bite to the calf, 40 yards from shore according to the Maui Department of Fire and Public Safety.
The shark was estimated to be 8 feet in length, the department said in a press release.
On separate occasions in December, sharks in Maui’s waters claimed two victims and left another with “severe trauma”.
