RedactedNarrative: Upon attempting to crest a wave, operator of V1 struck his face/head on the compartment cover of V1, resulting in transport. 
  
  On Sunday, September 8, 2019, I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), responded to the report of a vessel operator who had struck his face on his jet ski (Vessel 1 (V1), FL1859NV), after attempting to negotiate a wave offshore, just north of the St Lucie Inlet, in Martin County, FL. 
  
  Following the incident, the operator was transported to Martin Memorial Hospital South, lacerations to his scalp and face. Per medical staff, CT scan was clear for internal bleeding. 
  
  Upon speaking with Operator, he advised that he had been operating his vessel offshore, in the surf, near the St Lucie Inlet. While doing so, Operator advised that a wave set larger than those he had previously operated on came through. While attempting to go over the wave, he advised that he accelerated. Upon cresting the wave, Operator struck his face and head on V1, thus resulting in lacerations. Subsequent to striking his face on V1, Operator then fell off of the vessel and into the water.
