Description
Surfing is a beautiful and elegant sport, but it can be dangerous. Just about two months ago a surfer nearly drowned at the Ocean Beach Pier if not for the efforts of another surfer.
Doug Moise was surfing when he thought he had a normal wipe-out.
"I went into a headfirst dive into 2'-3' of water and hit my head really hard. But my body would not cooperate. I was looking at my arms and legs just floating and could not move," Moise said.
Moise knew someone had to help. "I didn't have a lot of time left; it was by chance he got that wave," he said.
That's when he felt a touch.
"Then all of a sudden, I felt something, I thought it was kelp, but it was Jackson's hand to support my neck as he turned me over," Moise said.
Jackson Huffman has been a surfer all his life and his instincts kicked in.
