Shark Attack | Ginger’s First Movie

I turned twenty-one during the filming of my first adult movies. Surrender in Paradise and A Little Bit of Hanky Panky were shot on the island of Kauai. Upon completion of filming, my good friend (and make-up artist) and I decided to fly to Maui to celebrate my twenty-first birthday.

Lexi’s family owned a condo on Maui and generously offered it up to the two of us for a two-week vacation. We happily accepted the offer and spent the next two weeks hiking up and down waterfalls, biking, swimming, snorkeling, jet skiing, and parasailing. At night we drove into the town of Lahaina to drink Mai Tais and eat shellfish. We also sampled the local — and not so local — guys and girls. It was the perfect birthday celebration.

Naturally I had to do something terrifying just to keep being me. …

I have a fear of heights, but a need for thrill — which, as you might imagine, has led to some interesting experiences over the years. Lexi went first to demonstrate to me that there was no danger. As the boat thrust forward and Lexi began to lift out of the water, she squealed with delight. I watched as she rose 800 feet above the sea level. She sailed around for a while and then was gently let back down into the water and then back onto the boat.

Next it was my turn. I stepped into the harness, was attached to the ropes, and then let out into the big blue sea to float while I waited for the boat to lift me out of the water. So far so good. My teenie blue and white bikini hugged my tiny little body perfectly. The water was warm. I was in Hawaii celebrating my twenty-first birthday. What could possibly go wrong?

As I was pulled up out of the water I felt the warm salt water on my face and the warm gentle breeze brush my skin. It was beautiful. I began to float up above the ocean. The view was spectacular. I floated for several minutes before I noticed the sputter in the boat.

Now I’m not some nautical genius, but even I realized something was wrong. The boat seemed to be starting and stopping which caused me to fall closer to the water before suddenly being jerked back up. My heart began to skip a beat … right before I looked down and saw my biggest fear right before my eyes.
