Kohanaiki(Pine Trees)In North Kona When Huge Surf Swept Cleselle Into The Ocean. She Lost
Consciousness After A Few Minutes Of Trying To Stay Afloat.Her Mother Ludivina Tried To Save Her,
But Found Herself Also In Distress Because Of Huge Waves That Tossed Her About.
Without Hesitation, You Paddled Out To Cleselle Despite Very Rough Surf When You
Saw Her Face Down On The Water. You Placed Her On Your Surfboard Where You Attempted To
Perform CPR And You Had Difficulty Keeping Her On Because The Current Was So Strong.
Another Surfer,Mr.Robert Mockchew,Swam Out To Give You A Hand When You
Called For Assistance To Bring Cleselle Safely Back To Shore.
