The pwc had 2 occupants on it at the time and the tube had 2 passengers. According to witnesses at the scene, the pwc was traveling too close to the north shore line of the lake when it changed direction from north to west. Upon doing this the tube that was in tow continued to travel to the north and struck the shoreline. The tube flipped in the air and the skiers landed on several rocks on the north shore line. As a result of this incident the operator was cited for violation ars 5-346b (towing skiers too close to a hazard) and given a court date of 6/16/11. Nothing further to report. End of report.
