Vessel 1 was operating at approximately 475 horsepower with two persons in tow on a tube following Vessel 1.  The Operator of Vessel 1, although significantly experienced in boating in general, was not aware of the growth in the sand bar in the area since last boating there.  Vessel 1 subsequently struck the sand bar causing one of the Occupants aboard Vessel 1 to propel forward and strike a seat; no other injuries to persons on board Vessel 1 or in tow behind Vessel 1 were reported.  Vessel 1 did sustain some minor fiberglass/hull damage as a result of the incident.
