RedactedNarrative: I was called from USCG auxiliary regarding a 16 year-old male with a head laceration that they were transporting to the North Marina.  I informed dispatch and requested medical and responded to the ranger dock.  
  When I arrived I took my medical bag and met them at the dock.  I took off paper towels and applied gauze to the wound that was less than 2 inches but deep.  I updated dispatch and waited for medical to arrive for further evaluation.  While waiting I talked with VICTIM about what happened.  He said that he was going with his cousin and hit some rough water and it threw them off, and that the machine came around and hit him.  The USCG Auxiliary saw them in the water and came to see what happened and saw VICTIM was bleeding so they got him on their boat and called me.  I re-verified VICTIM age and the passengers age which was 16.  I asked them if they had operating permits and VICTIM said no.  I told him that until he is 18 am operating permit is required and that I would be issuing a citation.  VICTIM was requesting that he not be transported to the hospital, and I told him that he would likely need stitches, but after medical cleared him he could probably be released to be self transported.  Medical cleared him and he Aunt signed a refusal of treatment.
