RedactedNarrative: On 06/14/2014, at about 3:00 p.m., these two vessels were paddling on San Juan Channel located in San Juan county, WA. They were with a group of six other kayakers paddling in tidal rapids South of Davis Point on Lopez Island. V1 inadvertently struck the Operator of V2 above his left hip with the bow of her vessel. 
  
  Operator2 managed to paddle himself to shore with the rest of his group despite mild shock. A Nurse Practitioner in the group advised they should seek medical attention rather than paddle back to their vehicles. Operator2 was evaluated by paramedics and was flown off the island for evaluation of possible internal injuries. No internal injuries were found other than deep bruising. All involved were wearing dry suits and PFDs. 
  
  1 Injury / 0 Fatalities 
  There was no apparent alcohol involvement 
  No damage to either vessel

  Neither Operator had a mandatory Boater Education Card
