RedactedNarrative: NOTIFICATION
  USCG Auxiliary 316 informed dispatch of a damaged PWC (VESSEL #1) they had hooked onto and were towing to Rendezvous Beach Rentals. USCG Aux. was flagged down while on the lake just south of Gus Rich Point and asked to assist with a sinking PWC that was on the north/west area of Gus Rich Point.
  
  RESPONSE
  Ranger was closer than me so he arrived first and began to gather information. I arrived a short time later at 1917 hours.
  
  INVESTIGATION
  I met with Ranger and obtained driver information from VESSEL #1 including a date of birth and CA ID number. The PWC arrived and the rental shop staff loaded it and I reviewed the damage. We were told there was no other PWC involved, though the damage suggested otherwise. I met with the driver and he stated the damage happened as his hit a wave hard. He did say that he was trying to catch up to the others on several other PWCs and the damage happened as he was within 10-20 feet of them and their PWCs.  The rental shop staff found only minor scratches and some blood on another PWC, but we were told and shown evidence of the blood coming from scratches received earlier by a group member while on an ATV. We were not able to match up any other damage to the damage of VESSEL #1. 
  
  With the DOB and ID found, I had a difficult time finding matching information in California records.  Subject personally gave me his name and the address listed in the report. The DOB was still different from what the California records showed for the ID number given.
  
  CITATION
  I issued a citation. I explained the citation instructions, he signed and I left him a copy. He was cited based on his description of being within 10-20 feet on the other PWCs while above a wake-less speed.
  
  Another group member claimed he was called an "idiot" by the rental shop staff as they were explaining the damage/charges and we had to separate the parties at the threat of violence. The group members were nearly to the point of hostility, though we were finally able to get them to leave.
  
  FOLLOW-UP
  I was unable to make contact with individuals I had for as I tried to follow-up on validating information.
  
  It is suspected the vessel impacted a fixed object due to excessive speed.
