"He was sitting up on the beach. A huge wave came in, rolled him and pulled him into the ocean," she wrote, recalling the moments before the tragedy.
A storm system moving across Hawaii was responsible for the powerful waves that claimed the lives of Kunic and Jett, as the National Weather Service had predicted a 14 to 18 feet high wave.
According to authorities, a lifeguard was in the process of posting no-swimming signs when the incident took place around 8 a.m., highlighting the danger present at the beach.
Enright confirmed, "They were on the shore either watching or taking photos... They were not swimming," emphasizing the unexpected nature of the tragedy.
