Description:
Surfer Rodger Coombs was paddling out off Pohaku Park yesterday morning when he heard his friend Willis R. McInnis cry for help from about 200 yards offshore.
April 7, 2004
When he reached McInnis, Coombs realized his friend's right leg had been mangled by a shark. Coombs said he got off his board and tried to push McInnis on his longboard to shore.

McInnis told Coombs, "I think my leg is toast."

Coombs responded, "You're going to be OK, you're going to be OK."

But Coombs and other bystanders who rushed to help could not save McInnis, 57, of Napili. He died shortly after the shark bit his leg about 7:05 a.m. off Maui's western shore.
