At approximately 0900 hours on 7/20/09 NPS dispatch put out a call for an injured wake boarder in Padre Canyon.

RESPONSE

I responded to the location on my patrol vessel along with two NPS Rangers.

ACTION TAKEN

I assisted the NPS rangers with providing medical treatment to subject 1.  subject 1 was complaining of pain in his lower back and tail bone area.  Classic Lifegaurd arrived on scene and transported him via helicopter to the hospital for further treatment.

INVESTIGATION

I investigated the accident finsubject 1 had been wake boarding that morning.  He was attempting to get up for another run and let go of the rope before getting up.  When the vessel operator, subject 2 brought the vessel back around to subject 1, he saw that subject 1 was in pain and took him back to the houseboat and called for assistance.  I had subject 2 fill out a witness statement.
