RedactedNarrative: Operator was operating a 25-foot Sea Hunt (V2)  north in the Intra-Coastal Waterway (ICW) when he noticed a 50-foot Sea Ray (V1) heading south in the ICW.
  
  Operator said V1 had a large wake and he slowed down. After slowing down, he steered towards the wake at approximately a 45-degree angle. When he hit the wake, his bow dropped from the crest of the wake into the trough, causing the female passenger sitting in front of the center console to sustain a compression fracture of her L1 vertebrae.; Lost approximately 50% of the height of the vertebrae.  Kyphoplasty/Vertobroplasty procedure is scheduled.
