  JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE R3 DAY MARKER, THEIR PWC HIT A BIG WAKE. THE OPERATOR WAS EJECTED FROM THE PWC OVER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HANDLEBAR CHIPPING ONE OF HIS FRONT TEETH.  THE PASSENGER WAS EJECTED OVER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HANDLEBAR. THE PASSENGER IMPACTED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HANDLEBAR NEAR THE THROTTLE BREAKING HIS MAXILLA, NOSE, AND BREAKING BOTH OF HIS TOP FRONT TEETH BELOW THE GUM LINE. 
  
  BOTH MEN REBOARDED THE PWC, BUT PASSENGER DROVE THEM BACK TO THE PENINSULA YACHT CLUB.  PASSENGER THOUGHT THAT THE AMBULANCE WOULD HAVE A QUICKER RESPONSE TIME TO THAT LOCATION.  BOTH MEN TRANSPORTED THEMSELVES TO URGENT CARE.

THE RENTED PWC WAS MISSING REGISTRATION NUMBERS, VALIDATION DECAL, AND THE REQUIRED FIRE EXTINGUISHER.  CHARGES ARE PENDING FOR THE OWNER.  THERE ARE NO CHARGES PENDING FOR THE OPERATOR OR PASSENGER.
