RedactedNarrative: Victim #1 stated: I was wake boarding and got scared in the water and when I was trying to get back on the boat I grabbed the tow rope as he came back around and when the boat stopped I didn't with the momentum of the water and the board took most of the propellers then my leg got pulled under and got cut up.

  Operator #1 stated: On Monday July 1st my friends and I went out on my boat to go tubing and wake boarding. Toward the end of our session we pulled up to pick a wake boarder from the water off the bow of the boat.  I put the boat in neutral and waited for the wake boarder to board.  From the draft of the boat the wake board was sucked under the boat with someone still attached.  The wake board then struck the prop while it was free spinning from coming out of gear.  The wake boarder was also struck by the prop and had 4 lacerations to her left thigh. We quickly removed her from the water. I treated the injuries as other kept her calm and talking. My friend drove the boat to Surf City Yacht Club as I monitored her condition while on the phone with 911.  We then met Surf City EMS at the Yacht Club dock.
