"The wind was pelting you, so it felt like rocks being pelted at you. I had his daughter and my friend, and the jet ski tipped over," Smith told CNN, describing his rescue of Pintard and his family.

Smith added."That's the reason I went out in the first place."We thought it would pretty much be a routine ride out, but the waves were still pretty strong, and the wind was fairly high. We capsized ... my wife and I, at least twice," Pintard told CNN."My daughter capsized on a jet ski as well.
