This aspiring talented teen photographer Travis Eihner(18)miraculously survives a 90ft plunge off Hawaii’s ‘Leap of Faith’ cliff into the sea after slipping on unstable ground late Sunday March 5th.

• Travis (son of long time NS glasser, Steve and Louise Eichner) fell off of Koko Head’s ‘Leap of Faith’ cliff while taking photos
• The 18-year-old broke nine bones from the fall and suffered a severe concussion 
• Strangers, one of whom’s name is Stefan Cranston ( just happened to be nearby) saved his life by putting him on a surfboard and pushed him to shore…Travis was knocked out by the dangerous fall. They’re good friends now. 🙂

  An 18-year-old photographer, surfer, hockey player was taking photos on a Honolulu cliff when he slipped and plunged 90ft face-first into the ocean.

  Travis Eichner broke bones and got a severe concussion when a rock slipped out from underneath him while he was checking his photos.

  During the fall from Portlock’s ‘Leap of Faith’ cliff Sunday, he smacked into a rock ledge and the impact rendered him unconscious.

  He was air lifted to Queen’s Hospital in Honolulu and is miraculously expected to make a full recovery after surgery.

  Strangers rescued him from the ocean by putting him on a surfboard and taking him to shore.

  Eichner’s rescuers started a GoFundMe for his medical bills and are trying to raise $20,000 for his family.

  Stefan Cranston was one of the friends who helped pull Eichner to safety. He told Hawaii News Now: ‘We shouted out call 911! We shouted it about five times until we saw people reacting.’ Check the story HERE
