RedactedNarrative: On 9/13/14 at approximately 2:20pm, a boating accident occurred on badin lake just outside the no wake zone at the badin shores resort in new london, nc. The vessel was an 18 foot carolina skiff with a 70 horsepower kawasaki motor. The vessel was operated at the time of the incident, while subject was being pulled behind the vessel wake boarding. Operator stated that the vessel was traveling around 21-40 mph when victim misjudged the wave while he was wake boarding. 
  
  Operator and his son, victim, were staying at the badin shores resorts when the incident occurred. They had been enjoying the day boating and wake boarding since badin lake was not as crowded as it normally is. At around 2:20pm the two were about 100-150 yards away outside of the no wake zone at gar creek. Operator was operating the vessel while his son victim was wake boarding. Operator was operating the vessel around 21-40 mph when victim misjudged the wake and was thrown from his wake board. Victim was wearing his life vest at the time of the incident. Operator was able to get victim out of the water and could tell that victim's left knee was dislocated and called 911. operator explained to the paramedics that he was staying in badin shores and that they would be returning back to the boat ramp inside of badin shores. The paramedics were on scene in about 10 minutes and were able to transport victim to stanly regional medical center to have x-rays on his left knee. The x-ray report indicated that his femur was dislocated from his tibia. Victim also had a tear in his mcl and acl from the incident. 
  
  In my professional opinion, it appears that the operator's lack of attention, experience and excessive speed may have been factors in the incident since it was victim's second time ever wake boarding. No one was charged as a result from this incident.
