RedactedNarrative: OP1 was on the St. Mary's River near Scott's Landing boat ramp recreating in his Jetski. He stated he was heading West on the river away from the boat ramp outside of the idle speed zone marker. He stated he was traveling about 30 mph when a bayliner type vessel passed him (heading East on the river). He stated the vessel threw a big wake and OP1 hit the wake sideways at a speed of approximately 30 mph.
  OP1 stated he was thrown from his jet ski. When OP1 surfaced he observed his jet ski near the tree line just West of the Scott's Landing boat ramp. When OP1 attempted to board his jet ski he stated it started sinking. It was then he noticed there was a hole located near the front of the ski.

OP1 stated he misjudged the wake and didn't think to slow down because he didn't believe he was going "that fast".
  I asked OP1 if he was wearing his life jacket and kill switch and he stated "yes". 
  The St. Mary's River is llined with cypress trees and cypress knees. It appears based off of the damage and where the hole is located that the jet ski hit a cypress knee stump.
  OP1 stated he tied the jet ski up to a tree until he could pull it from the water.
