RedactedNarrative: At approximately 1715 on sunday, july 16, 2017, subject was engaged in a standup paddle boarding class.  The class was conducted at vista pointe on jordan lake. The weather was cloudy with light wind, approximately 0 to 6 mph, causing slight choppy water with waves, approximately 6'' to 2'.   
  
  In combination with boat traffic, a storm with heavy rain was to the southeast moving in a northwesterly direction at the start of the class.   At approximately 1730, victim was in a knee sit position on his assigned standup paddle board and attempted to standup with a paddle in hand. While attempting to stand up on the board, victim lost his balance and fell into shallow water.  
  
  When he fell, he hit his leg on the bottom in a way that caused his lower right leg to break his tibia and fibula. Ems arrived on scene at approximately 1750 and transported victim to unc hospitals.  Officer and myself arrived on scene at approximately 1805.  We obtained victim's information from state park ranger.  
  
  Contributing factors to this incident were operator's lack of experience (less than 10 hours) and the slight choppy water with waves 6'' to 2'.   Due to wind and boating traffic on the lake, operation of vessel was also being conducted in shallow water so victim had the opportunity to make contact with the bottom of the lake when he fell.
