RedactedNarrative: V1 launched over first wave, landed bow first into second wave. Operator lost grip of handlebars, hit head on handlebars, and was ejected. V1 continued its direction of travel, operator got back on, and proceeded to shore.
  
  The operator stated that he had taken the PWC out by himself and went approximately one mile North along the beach. On his way back South, the water conditions had become more rough. He underestimated the size of one wave and went over it, launching himself and the PWC several feet into the air. The PWC landed bow-first into the leading edge of another wave. Upon impact with the wave, the operator hands slipped off the handlebars, causing him to lunge forward and hit his forehead on the center of the handlebars. His momentum then ejected him forward over the handlebars, and into the water in front of the PWC. Because he was wearing the engine shut-off safety lanyard, the PWC stopped running. However its momentum caused it to continue on its direction of travel South, and passed him by several yards. He was able to swim back to the PWC and board it. He put his hand on his head where he felt the injury and noticed a significant amount of blood. At this point, he drove straight to shore at the nearest Lifeguard Station, located at approximately 57th Street.
