A recent terrifying story from Aquaman actor Jason Momoa describes a surfing accident that almost took his life in 2007 near the coast of Maui. The star, famous for playing a sea hero in movies, found himself in a real-life fight for survival against the ocean’s raw power.
Momoa told the “SmartLess” podcast that during a long-distance paddle at the dangerous Peʻahi surf spot, called “Jaws” by surfers, the actor and his friends set out on a trip that covered about 13 miles along the coast. The group was moving through an area almost a mile out to sea when the accident happened. Around seven miles into the paddle, Momoa’s surfboard leash suddenly broke, cutting him off from his board.
