Search crews in Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard have found the body of 19-year-old Gatineau man who disappeared while wakeboarding on Lac Sainte-Marie in the Laurentians Wednesday.

The Sûreté du Québec say divers found his body around 9 a.m. Thursday.

The teen went missing Wednesday afternoon while wakeboarding. Similar to surfing, he was on a board holding a rope being pulled by a motorboat when he fell into the water. His friends on the boat turned to help, but couldn't find him.

The force's surface team patrolled the waters and Thursday morning divers were called in to try and locate his body.

The wakeboarder's identity hasn't been revealed, but police have notified the family.

Police say he wasn't wearing a life jacket.
