RedactedNarrative: Operator of Vessel 1 was heading towards the entrance buoy going into the Oregon Inlet Channel.  He was sitting outside of the breakers watching and waiting for the best time to navigate through the breakers when a large wave broke from behind and capsized his vessel.  He stayed with the vessel as it drifted toward the bridge.  The vessel made contact with the bridge.  As he exited the boat and climbed onto the bridge, the vessel drifted away and later came to rest on a sand bar.  The Coast Guard picked up operator and brought him to the Station. He contacted Sea Tow and they towed his vessel back to the Oregon Inlet Boat Ramp.  He then trailered his boat.  Alcohol or drugs didn't contribute to the incident and no violation was issued.
