The prop was trimmed up too high (inexperience) out of the water causing air to get under hull and prop out of water (this is other causing the vessel to lose control and throw the subject out of the vessel (this is falling overboard). 

Operator was wearing PFD and kill switch and was able to swim back to the vessel and make it to shore. The vessel was displaying numbers registered to a High Tide. 

Unit went to hospital to interview the operator and another officer went to the boat landing to look at the vessel and meet with the owner of the vessel who was present at the landing.
