Man looking for names of people who saved his life

I am the 46-year-old man who is in your article on Aug. 11 and who was injured at Ulua Beach on Aug. 9 (See www. mauinews.com/news/local-news/ 2018/08/injuries-reported-in-high-surf-incidents/.)

I am trying to find that man who pulled me from the water and saved my life. I was seconds from drowning. I cannot find him! Also, I want to thank all people on the beach that helped secure me. They saved me from being a paraplegic.

I am extremely grateful to be alive. I was lucky in so many ways and have been given a second chance at life!

I am now back in San Jose, Calif. recovering and trying to recover both mentally and physically. I will be fine but I would like closure by finding and thanking these people!
