RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 10’ Plastic Lifetime Freestyle Stand-Up Paddle Board (SUP)
  
  On 06/19/2021, at about 05:00 p.m., this vessel was drifting on Lake Sammamish about 30’ from the dock, located near Sammamish WA in King county. 
  
  According to Law Enforcement, the victim had never used a Stand-Up Paddle Board (SUP) and wanted to try it.  Victim left from a swim/boat dock about 60’ from shore.  He was on the SUP for a short time and fell overboard from instability.  He was not wearing a PFD at the time.  
  
  Victim was not a strong swimmer and was not making headway towards a nearby dock.  He was witnessed trying to cling to the dock but then the witness looked away.  About 30-60 seconds later the witness looked back and Victim was missing from the same area.  
  
  Witnesses searched the surface and surrounding docks for Victim but could not locate him.  A call to 9-1-1 at 05:08 p.m. generated a response from King CSO Marine Unit and local fire departments.  A surface search was started again with negative results.  
  
  Local Dive Teams arrived and began a systematic search around the docks.  At 07:27 p.m., divers located Victim about 30’ from the originating address dock in about 13’ of water.  There was no leash or PFD on the SUP.
