PWC was cruising at approximately 35 mph when Operator Vessel 1(OV1) attempted to cross the wake of another boat.  OV1, because of inexperience in the operations of PWCs, miscalculated the speed at which he was traveling with the excessively large wake created by the other boat.  When OV1 hit the wake, the two passengers onboard the PWC, passenger 1 and passenger 2, were thrown from the watercraft and landed on their sides in the water.  All three individuals were wearing PFDs. P1 was rather shaken up and appeared to have the wind knocked out of her.  P1 refused to reboard the PWC.  A passing boat observed the individuals in the water and transported them back to Holter boat ramp.  The individuals aboard the boat called 911 and requested an ambulance for P1.  Lewis and Clark County Sheriff's Deputies responded as well as St. Pete's Ambulance.  P1 received oxygen but refused any further medical assistance. P2 refused all medical treatment.
