Freeskier is reporting that Virtika founder David Lesh survived a plane crash into Half Moon Bay off the coast of California. It is being reported that his plane crashed after the engine failed yesterday, August 20, 2019.
#NEW Excuse the language, BUT moments before this video was taken, these two went down with their plane. Incredible!
No injuries, other than a few jellyfish stings.

Lesh has recently purchased a new Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft when it lost power as he and another passenger were flying towards the Golden Gate Bridge.

“It skipped along the water a few times. There was like no impact. We were totally fine,” Lesh described to ABC7’s Amanda del Castillo. “Got the door open right away, we piled out. I grabbed my phone, grabbed some stuff to float with and we stood on the wing as long as the plane was floating which was probably 30 seconds or 40 seconds.”
