RedactedNarrative: The operator rented a pwc from wilmington jet ski rentals at carolina beach state park marina.  Shortly after leaving the marina, she proceeded east on the icw and approached the snow's cutt bridge.  As she approached the bridge on the left side, she noticed a fairly large wake that was created from another vessel's traffic.  
  
  She stated that when she hit the wake at just over 20mph, she lost control of the pwc and hit the bridge piling head on.  When the front of the pwc struck the bridge piling, operator flipped over the handlebars of the pwc and landed in the water.  Other boaters saw her and offered assistance until her boyfriend arrived on another pwc.  The pwc at this point was inoperable and she made contact with wilmington jet ski rentals.

Wilmington jet ski rentals estimated the damage of the pwc between 3000.00 and 5000.00 dollars.
