RedactedNarrative: On June 16, 2018, between 11:00 and 11:40 AM, four people were tubing in East Cote Blanche Bay in rough water conditions in vessel LA 8731 GH (V1) which is a 20'3" aluminum homemade center console remote steered vessel powered by a 125hp mercury motor. 
  
  Operator was the operator and Occupant1 was a passenger sitting in a chair directly in front of the center console. Two people were riding on the tube. Tuber1 became tired and requested to stop in order to board V1. Operator stopped the vessel to allow Tuber1 to re-enter V1.
  
   Tuber2 stayed on the tube waiting to be pulled again. Operator was near the last set of pilings near the Burns Point Campground boat launch and drifted quickly towards the pilings. Once Tuber1 boarded the vessel he stood just to the right and in front of the console. Operator engaged the throttle forward and began to motor ahead. 
  
  Operator realized he was close to the pilings and turned sharply to port and pushed the throttle forward more. V1 accelerated quickly in a sharp turn causing V1 to come in contact with a wave broadside on the starboard side. The speed and sharpness of the turn caused a sudden forceful hit with a wave causing Operator and Tuber1 to be ejected over the starboard gunwale. 
  
  Tuber1 bumped his hip on the gunwale of V1 as he was ejected out. The impact of the wave caused Occupant1 to be thrown from her chair onto the deck of V1. She was unharmed. The operator stated that everyone was wearing a Type III PFD. The operator was wearing the engine cutoff lanyard which stopped the motor as he was ejected. Operator swam to the vessel which was a short distance from him and re-entered. The operator then picked up Tuber1 from the water and retrieved Tuber2 from the tube. The subjects then trailered the vessel. The subjects camped until Sunday, June 17th when Tuber1 decided to go to the Teche Regional Medical Center to have his hip looked at. A nurse from the medical center notified LDWF dispatch of the incident. The medical staff advised Tuber1 that his hip was bruised and that he could return to work and normal activities. 
  
  After completing the investigation, agents determined that the operator was traveling too fast for the given conditions. Operator administered too much throttle while the motor was turned sharply to port causing the starboard side to impact a wave. The action resulted in a loss of control, both the operator and Tuber1 to be ejected from the vessel, and occupant to thrown to the deck of the vessel. It is undetermined if alcohol or drugs were a factor in this incident. On July 1, 2018 Agents cited Operator under RS 34:851.4 Careless operation (Violate Rules of the Road #16) and for RS 34:851.8 Operate watercraft during license suspension.
