The following boating accident occurred on August 7, 2011, at approximately 1230 hours.

The operator of vessel I was towing a wakeboarder in a northerly direction when the wakeboarder attempted to jump a wake and perform a trick.  The front of the wakeboard submerged below the water upon landing, causing the wakeboarder to fall and strike the water with the left side of his face while arching his back. Due to the pain the injured party felt, the operator called 911 and met an ambulance on shore. The victim was transported to the local hospital where he was diagnosed with a soft tissue back sprain.
