Very sad story, here's the details:

I'm guessing he fell and another boat hit him in the water.

Very sad, my heart goes out to his family and the driver of the other boat who must be in a bad place.

Just goes to show you can never take enough care when out on the water.

This is very sad.

It is a tough reminder that wakeboarding/boating is dangerous. Everyone be careful this holiday weekend. I hate seeing these posts in the forum.

Very sad, & does not need to happen..It makes my heart hurt. I'm super protective about anyone being around us when we ride & super aggressive while having a rider down with a boat in the area.
