All I'm focusing on is trying to hit this thing and trying to get it off of me because I know that I'm probably gonna die.

I'm hitting the shark over and over, probably four or five times, I don't know exactly how many times I hit it, but I know that it released me for whatever reason, and at that point I was treading water.

There were dolphins leaping over my head and literally tail slapping the water two inches from my head.

There was a pod of them.

There was probably 20 dolphins.

They were jumping over my head, doing flips, tail slapping the water literally inches away from my head, trying to keep the shark away from me.

The shark came and he swallowed my right leg.

And he didn't just swallow a little bit of my leg.

He didn't get my ankle or up to my knee.

He swallowed my entire leg all the way up to my groin.

The only thing that I could think to do was kick it, because for some reason I had a moment of clarity, and I didn't wanna put my left foot on the shark's mouth and try to pull my right leg out of his mouth, because I feared it would be like a chicken drumstick that you eat, you know, it would just pull the meat right off.

And a couple kicks, and he let go of me.

And that's when I started swimming towards the only person that was left out there, Joe Jansen.

The entire ocean around me was completely blood red.

I looked at Joe and he was so pale and he was paddling slowly kind of across where I was swimming towards him, like kind of towards the beach, but not directly at the beach.

So I knew he wasn't trying to get away from me.

And I was swimming towards him, screaming, blood-curdling screams, I'm sure.

And he's waiting for me and he's yelling at me the whole time, grab your board.

And he must have said that 10 times because I swam all the way up to him and I grabbed onto his legs.

I was so terrified that I literally grabbed him and I tried to pull myself onto him like he was gonna tow me and bring me to the beach.
