G\ufeffreater Western Sydney<\/a> captain Toby Greene<\/a> has revealed he almost "perished" in a surfing accident in Bali.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old was on an end-of-season trip to the popular holiday destination when he went out for a surf in supposedly eight-foot waves.<\/p>\n

The Giants star crashed out and lost his board, having to be rescued by a jet ski whose driver allegedly told him, "Mate, that's as close as I've seen someone to perishing here".<\/p>\n

Greene revealed to Triple M's The Rush Hour with JB & Billy<\/em> that he initially thought, "Don't panic because you'll die".<\/p>\n

"I was just arrogant\ufeff," he said.<\/p>\n

"We were staying on this beach, and I'd noticed there were these little rocks that you could walk across.<\/p>\n

"I noticed all the gun surfers were out surfing on the other side of this point, and I thought, 'I wonder why no one had paddled out from my side, I'll just do that because it'll save me time'.<\/p>\n

"So I paddled out, misread the break and how big they were, and that the reef was 30 centimetres deep, and had these eight-foot waves hitting me and blasted my board into the rocks, so that was gone, I couldn't get it.<\/p>\n

"The jet ski (driver) was yelling, 'Swim sideways because I can't get to (you)'. He was trying to save me.<\/p>\n

"I got under a few waves and told myself, 'Don't panic because you'll die'.<\/p>\n

"The (man on the) jet ski came and picked me up, and he said, 'Mate, that's as close as I've seen someone to perishing here'.<\/p>\n

"It was just stupid what I did. It was day one, and I just got excited."\ufeff<\/p>\n

It has been an eventual off-season for Greene so far.<\/p>\n

He also got engaged to his partner Georgia, posting the moment to his Instagram.<\/p>\n
