I'm not a dangerous person. I don't consider myself a 'thrill seeker' by the usual definition. But, that said, I have had a few times that I've almost died while trying to enjoy this crazy thing called "Life". This is a post about two such near death experiences that happened in the Pacific ocean while
A shark took part of Mike Coots' leg, but that didn't stop him from getting out there in the line-up! Here he is showing off a new carbon fiber leg that has made all the difference. In 1997 at seventeen years of age, Mike was surfing off the amazing and beautiful Hawaiian Island of Kauai

Maui, Big Island, Kauai and all the Hawaiian islands have great surf... but, I think nothing beats Oahu for consistency and the number of great breaking wave spots around the island.
Oahu, and the other Hawaiian islands have amazing and almost non-stop wave-action going on. Waves are nearly continually breaking somewhere on each island. For the first year and a half or so I only bodyboarded. Bodyboarding was the biggest rush once I learned how to ride 4+ foot waves. I had heard about bodysurfing but
I was lucky enough to be sent to the island of Oahu during my tour of 'duty' in the US Air Force at Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii. The most fun physically that I've ever had is a 'sport' or recreational hobby called, "bodyboarding". A bodyboard is like a small surf board. It
