On 7-16-13 at approximately 1pm Operator was headed up the Narrow River for a day of wake boarding and tubing in the lake area of the river.  Operator1 was operating his boat at 20-25mph.  victim was being towed on  wake board (w/life jacket).  He was maneuvering the board back and forth jumping the wakes.  He was moving from his right to his left when he attempted another wake jump.  He made a mistake and ended up chest first into the water.  According to his brother he was trying to get "fancy" and he "scorpioned" into the water - his legs bent towards the back of his head, as a result of striking the water in an un-natural body position at a moderate rate of speed.  The subsequent wipe out resulted in a great amount of pain.  EMS and Fire rescue was activated.  victim was transported to South County Hospital.
