The Hawaiian surfer related all details of the incident in a 2021 interview given to KITV. Describing how she wrongly assumed the boar to be a log, the ‘log’ lifted its head. “It started swimming toward me like crazy”. Seiple elaborated. 

Her immediate response was paddling away as far as possible. However, with amazing speed, the wild boar reduced its distance with Seiple. Seiple confessed how the wild boar’s teeth made a mark on her board. Afraid, Seiple swam far away from the animal. Luckily for Seiple, the wild boar stopped following her after some time.
