Jason Momoa has recalled a near-death experience during a 2007 paddleboarding trip in Hawaii.

The Aquaman star said his leash snapped seven miles into a 13-mile paddle near the dangerous “Jaws” surf break, leaving him stranded almost a mile offshore in strong winds.

As 10-foot waves crashed over him, the 46-year-old admitted exhaustion and panic soon set in.

“I was stuck in this crazy spot on the outer reef. They couldn’t see me,”

“I was waving my paddle, but the waves were too big.” he said.

The actor said thoughts of his three-month-old daughter made him even more desperate, and at one point, his arms and legs gave out. “I literally gave up,” he admitted.

Just as panic set in, Momoa’s toe hit a reef and a friend spotted him in time to help.

They still had to paddle seven more miles through rough waters before reaching shore, leaving Momoa’s feet cut and bleeding, but thankful to have survived.

“Head down, just paddling with my ancestors,” he said.
