RedactedNarrative: A male suffered a broken leg injury while he was wakeboarding, and was still in the water. 
  
  While Victim was being treated, I made contact with the individuals who were with Victim. Operator  identified himself as the driver and owner of the vessel (1992 23 ft. Sea Ray) and explained what happened. Operator stated to me that they were teaching Victim how to wakeboard, and he was in the water and said, "Hit it". Operator stated that he started to get going, but Victim didn't get up. Operator stated he was going approximately 1-2 MPH and started to accelerate. He said the wind blew, and the board twisted causing the leg injury. Operator said, "We were in Halls Creek Bay teaching victim how to wakeboard, on his second attempt, he said he was ready, we started going and he let go of the rope. We circled back to try again and he said he broke his leg".
  
  There were a total of 6 people (5 on board), and Victim being towed on the wakeboard. No damage to the vessel and no injuries to the individuals on board the vessel. A vessel inspection was completed on the vessel; Operator stated to me that his insurance card was expired.
  
  Victim was wearing a life jacket. Ranger stated Victim had a severe left femur fracture with deformity present. He was transported to Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, UT by Classic. NPS Case #19-3155. See attached witness statements, pictures, registration and insurance information. NPS medical report was not completed and filed by the time this report was submitted. CONCLUSION:
  Additional follow-up was conducted and information gathered. Based on my investigation, interviews, and a witness statement from the operator, Victim's inexperience with wakeboarding was a factor in the accident as well as windy conditions at the time.
