Shark bites swimmer
By CLAUDINE SAN NICOLAS, Staff Writer
WAILEA – While returning from a mile-long swim off Keawakapu Beach on Wednesday morning, San Diego visitor Jonathan Genant saw a frightening apparition coming toward him – a large shark.
“By the time it got to me, I could see his mouth was just huge, it was gigantic,” said Genant, a 29-year-old co-founder of an Internet search marketing firm called Better Deals LLC.
Genant was alone in the water when the shark bit his left hand, taking his pinkie and a portion of his ring finger. The palm of the hand was lacerated.
The attack occurred at about 11:45 a.m. and led authorities to close the stretch from Polo Beach to Kamaole Beach Park III until noon today.
Authorities believe it was a tiger shark that attacked Genant, although the swimmer said he first thought it was a great white.
“It was huge. I couldn’t tell what kind of shark, but it was definitely huge,” Genant said in an interview from a bed in the Maui Memorial Medical Center emergency room.
Genant’s left hand was wrapped in bandages, and the fingernails of his right hand were still stained with dried blood Wednesday afternoon. He was undergoing surgery Wednesday evening.
A Maui Fire Department crew flying over the area after the attack spotted a 12-foot tiger shark in the ocean, and police officers on shore reported seeing what appeared to be a tiger shark in the water.
Fire Battalion Chief Alan Pascua said the water was a little murky. Bystanders also told authorities they saw turtles swimming in the water at the time of the attack and believed it may have been the turtles that attracted the tiger shark to the area.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources and county ocean safety officers shut down the beaches fronting the Wailea Resort to the Kamaole area of Kihei.
State Shark Task Force spokesman Randy Honebrink said records show that most shark attacks occur in November and December, though it’s unclear why. Sharks regularly swim around all islands, he said, and there’s no specific area or beach where they would be more likely to be found.
There have been several shark attacks on swimmers off Kihei, but the most serious attacks have been off Olowalu, where there have been three attacks, including one that was fatal, since 1992. The third attack, in May 2002, led the state to post shark warning signs along the beach at Olowalu in an area popular with snorkelers and surfers.
Genant said he was about 400 yards offshore in water about 30 feet deep when the attack occurred. Once he saw the shark coming at him, Genant extended his arms out toward it and knew immediately that the shark intended to take a bite.
“He was going to take a piece of me,” Genant said. The shark tugged at his left arm.
“I heard a break. It was crisp, very powerful.”
The shark then let go and Genant said he became “a little bit frantic,” wondering whether the shark would attack him a second time. When he determined that the shark left, Genant went to work at minimizing his blood loss by applying pressure from his right hand against his left.
Genant said he swam back to shore on his back, all the while screaming for help in the water.
He was almost on the shore when several surfers and other beach goers assisted him in.
“I felt lucky to get back into the beach,” Genant said.
Hal Bringeland of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was on shore when he heard Genant’s screams for help and saw the swimmer in distress. He grabbed his body board and along with another bystander brought Genant into shore, helping Genant hold his injured arm on the board.
Bringeland’s 11-year-old son, Mitchell, said he heard the commotion and immediately got out of the water. Others at the beach did not need encouragement from lifeguards to stay out.
“We are going to the pool,” said Bringeland’s wife, Carmen, and she walked to her car with their two daughters, 7-year-old Stephanie and 9-year-old Carley.
“We are going to make shark fin soup,” Hal Bringeland joked.
Another beach goer, Brock Smeaton, said he had just arrived at the beach when he heard the commotion.
“He was yelling, ’help, help, help,’ ” said Smeaton. “I’m just amazed the people went in to help.”
Genant said he was on Maui to spend Christmas with his family, including his parents, a brother, a sister and her husband and a nephew.
He said he’s been visiting Maui since he was a young boy and has been in the same waters off Wailea frequently without incident. On Wednesday, he headed into the ocean just before 11 a.m., swimming out about 400 yards from the Wailea Elua Village before heading north toward Kihei, parallel to the shoreline.
“I’ve been swimming there for years,” he said.
A former triathlete, Genant described himself as a competent swimmer. He said he didn’t try to strike the shark when it was approaching him, but he did remember trying to protect himself from the attack.
He said he didn’t see much of the shark except for its white belly and smooth gray top.
Having survived the attack, Genant said he was initially upset about being a victim but quickly remembered that things could have been worse.
“I do feel lucky. . . . It did spare my life.”

Aug. 15, 2000. Jean Goenvec, a 53-year-old French windsurfer, was bitten on the left leg by a shark in waters off Kanaha Beach Park. It took doctors eight hours in surgery to piece together Goenvec’s mauled leg.
Nothing to do this morning sput and need to strike up a conversation? LOL
FYI about 2 years ago a story in the paper stated the average cost of living for a family of 5 was $77,000, it has gone WAY up since then and we enjoy a much better than average lifestyle. Get it?
However when gas hit $4 bucks a gallon and unless you buy the cheap stuff milk is $6-7 bucks a gallon is why I said it is hard on the wallet...
Aloha
Thanks, I'll pass it on.Aloha
reaper.... that's a good question. A while back there was a case of a guy who had bought ALL the reported float of a company only to find the company had been shorted and had massive dilution. I never saw the outcome of that but may have the article somewhere in my archives.
I see some flaws in that myself, but like I said, if the audit came back saying the transfer agent said there were 100 shares out there, and the brokers say there are 200. I would cover my ass by making sure I still had the majority %.
They conterfeit money, I imagine stocks can be counterfieted as well and how would you prove one stock with the same number on it as another is the right one.
Aloha---kids want to go back to the beach again.
Glad to hear you had a good time. This is a great place to vacation, just hard on the wallet to live full time...hold your Q!
Aloha
Thats funny, my friend just called me from there after I told him about the shark story and he was checking the waves out front... let me know when you get here. I am leaving on the 29th for a couple of weeks.
Aloha
Cool! Beautiful right now! What part of the island will you be in? Tradewell is still here but staying in Kaanapali which is a bit of a drive from here especially during this season.
Aloha
read my other message...
DAMN is right....I was waist deep walking out when they closed the beach due to large shark...can't seem to get away from them today.! LOL Yesterday a triathelete was swimmming off of Keawakapuu (Kihei) and had his fingers bit off, so they are busy looking for payback today and spotted one close to the beach we were at.
Aloha
That's what I thought that the original run was like 900%.
Aloha
I'll just stay here....heading back to the beach with ALL the kids..
Aloha
Thanks Aloha
OT GZFX....now that you got me started on it. I don't own any shares but I got my neighbor into it at .006. She has tried to subscribe to the service and has not been able to. Has anyone else been able to sign up? She has even called the company but no sub yet.
Aloha
gee you and junks must go to the same school....any bit of pressure you resort to the crap.
Aloha
red I don't see what part of this they don't get...duh.
Aloha
itesprit than why are you here??? That's what I don't get, if I had your opinion I would definitely be doing something else besides posting on a message board about something like this. Are you saving us? We don't need it...
Aloha
revised OT junks did you see the toxic financing on GZFX? Just curious not picking on you or anything...and what do you think of it?
Here it is...
(f) Limitations on Liability and Indemnification.
The Company's bylaws include provisions to the effect that we may indemnify any director, officer, or employee. In addition, provisions of Nevada law provide for such indemnification, as well as for a limitation of liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duties. Any limitation on the liability of any director or officer, or indemnification of any director, officer, or employee, could result in substantial expenditures being made by the Company in covering any liability of such persons or in indemnifying them.
(g) Adjustable Conversion Price Feature of Debentures Could Require the Issuance of Greater Number of Shares.
The Company's obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures to Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (see Liquidity and Capital Resources, below) is essentially limitless. The following is an example of the amount of shares of GameZnFlix common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price as of November 10, 2005 of approximately $0.01:
Number % of
% Below Price Per With Discount of Shares Outstanding
Market Share at 18% Issuable Stock
25% $0.0075 $0.0060 2,735,000,000 73.90%
50% $0.0050 $0.0040 4,110,000,000 80.97%
75% $0.0025 $0.0020 8,235,000,000 89.50%
As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures will increase if the market price of the stock declines, which will cause dilution to the existing stockholders.
(h) Adjustable Conversion Price Feature of Debentures May Encourage Short Sales.
The convertible debentures issued to Golden Gate Investors, Inc. are convertible into shares of Company common stock at an 18% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The selling stockholder could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause the further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of debentures, warrants and options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
(i) Issuance of Shares upon Conversion of Debentures and Exercise of Warrants.
The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures issued to Golden Gate Investors, Inc. and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholder may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although the selling stockholder may not convert their convertible debentures and/or exercise its warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own more than 9.9% of Company outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholder from converting and/or exercising some of its holdings and then converting the rest of its holdings. In this way, the selling stockholder could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of the common stock.
(j) If Stock Price Declines, the Company May Be Required to File A Subsequent Registration.
Based on the Company's current market price and the potential decrease in its market price as a result of the issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures issued to Golden Gate Investors, Inc., the Company has made a good faith estimate as to the amount of shares of common stock that it is required to register and allocate for conversion of the convertible debentures. In the event that the Company's stock price decreases, the shares of common stock the company has allocated for conversion of the convertible debentures and are registering hereunder may not be adequate. If our shares allocated to the registration statement are not adequate and the company is required to file an additional registration statement, we may incur substantial costs in connection with the preparation and filing of such registration statement.
(k) Repayment of Debentures, If Required, Would Deplete Available Capital.
The convertible debentures issued to Golden Gate Investors, Inc, are due and payable, with 4 3/4% interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of common stock. In addition, any event of default could require the early repayment of the convertible debentures at a price equal to 125% of the amount due under the debentures. The Company anticipates that the full amount of the convertible debentures, together with accrued interest, will be converted into shares of its common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures. If the Company were required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be required to use limited working capital and/or raise additional funds. If the Company were unable to repay the debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal action against the Company and foreclose on assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action may require the Company to curtail or cease operations.
Aloha
OT well given the AS is 4 billion and the OS is now 1.2 billion that is debatable what the future might bring. And you did know that CC gets 50% of the revenue, right?
I don't get the positve spin on Circuit City while Q has TW, RCN, BRIGHTHOUSE and COX and you look at that like its no big deal.
As usual you trip you self up...
Aloha
or been squelched...Aloha gotta go...been fun!
GZFX only hit .0002 and went to to somewhere aound .03 or 15000%. That's nice too! And how do you think the people fell who bought in at 18 cents? And why don't you think Q can turn around also? You obviously bought into GZFX when some people were suffering 99% losses...
GZFX 52 Week Range:
0.0002 to 0.182
Dateline....after being delayed more than once they put out a much diluted and shortened show than the expose that was first supposed to hit the show. Even the article in Time magazine was short. (pun intended)
Why do you think that was?
Aloha
Incredible..."does naked shorting go on? yes of course..."
Didn't you just get done saying that they were no proven cases of it...
I can't get out of here if I want tooo.
Aloha
not really, but in all my time I have NEVER seen a stock move 20,000%+ like Q did. I was in and you weren't...that's the difference. We're talking about Q here, right? Maybe you should have listened to me and Skunks back then...
Aloha-enough BS'ing for one day-suns out.
We'll see...it seems like more and more people are going to jail from brokerages. The main reason the naked shorting has not come into the mainstream media is the fear that the knowledge of will crash the whole market. Or didn't you know that?
Aloha
Oh man the secrets out...LOL
ALoha
I'm not going to go look right now...but when I come across the info again I will post it.
Aloha
Junks you don't make any sense at all...You know (or should know if you've been paying attention) that I have been invested in Q for a long time and all the money I had invested was removed from circulation while Q was up. Not only from Q but all money invested in stocks and hold plenty of free shares. SO IMO that's not too bad.
Of course 20-20 hindsight says I should have sold ALL of it when I could. But the fact remains, when Q was at .0001 the last time, quite a few know-it- alls bailed at .0003-4 and missed out on some huge profits...When was the last time you sold a $100 investment for $20,000 bucks?
Go ask Willy Wizard-he's probably still wortking at the VW dealership in Washington...there's another example of why you don't listen to advice on a message board.
Aloha
Along with several 1000 other companies that have been naked shorted into non existence. Open your eyes and read the news instead of message boards all the time.
Aloha
LOL junks I forgot to mention that I even have people who bash me and my company on a couple of internet sites and my business has nothing to do with stocks. WTF is up with that? It's easy. People trying to get you to give up something they want or get people to believe total BS so they can profit from it.
And guess what...I don't pay attention to them anymore than Frank pays attention here.
As far as business acumen...IMO you have a lot to learn...you should be taking advice not giving it.
Aloha
Well we'll see what comes out in the long run...if you're around that long.
Aloha
