RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS:
  
  On Friday July 17, 2015 a young adult male drowned while paddle boarding at Rockport Reservoir.
  
  INITIAL CALL:
  
  On Friday July 17, 2015 at approximately 1515 hours I was in my office doing reports. I observed that a micro burst wind was hitting the Rockport Reservoir and advised fellow Ranger that we should go check the Lake. We first responded to the marina where several boats were waiting to load. The wind was coming in from the West at approximately 15-30 miles per hour. We glassed the area and did not notice any vessels in distress. We then proceeded to the Twin Coves Camp Ground and again searched the Lake. At approximately 15:20 hours I received a call from entrance station staff member that 2 males were at the entrance station advising her that their male friend was on the Lake on a Stand Up Paddle (SUP) board and they could not locate him. We were advised that he did not have a PFD with him and what he was wearing. We responded to the marina where we boarded our patrol vessel and began searching the lake. We immediately located the SUP on the shore of the Cedar Point Campground.
  
  SAR CALLED:
  
  The SUP was being carried by an adult male and I asked him if it was his paddle board and he stated "no" and that he had just picked it up. I asked him where and he pointed to the location. The male operator of the SUP could not be seen. At 15:25 I notified Summit County Dispatch to call out the Search and Rescue units. As units were arriving on scene, I instructed them to help locate witnesses and obtain statements, scan the lake for the missing subject, and other duties. I met with 2 witnesses and asked them to direct me to locations where they had seen the male individual or the board. One witnesses advised seeing the board and male subject just off the Juniper Campground shore and another advised seeing just the board off of the Cedar Point shore.  Those locations were marked.
  
  SEARCH EFFORTS:
  
  The search lasted until 0200 hours on the 18th and resumed again at 0600 hours on the 18th. The search ended at 15:17 hours on July 18 when the male subject was located in about 80 ft. of water.
