Way worse, while u were surfing I was getting prostrate checked for the first time. I think I would rather have a concussion.
absolutely nothing!!!its water lol.youll get ur bell rung a few times that's about it.only brain damage u will get from surfing is if u drown and ur brain shuts down for 15 minutes and no oxygen to the brain causes brain damage so..hopefully evan g is normal after his ordeal. surfing is a pretty safe sport compared to football or skateboarding,only thing u have to worry about is hitting the bottom,drowning,and/or sharks lol...
Years ago i was told by a marine conservation person that pelicans suffer from brain damage and blindness due to the repeated blows to the head. He claimed that most do not die from old age but lack of food. Not sure how true that is but it made sense to me. Granted a bird brain and a human brain are quite different and the pelican is slamming way harder into the water then we do. Maybe there is some concern here but like fungus ill take my chances. Go back to playing sports without helmets and lets see if the head injuries decrease. Ill make a bet less would be leading w their heads. Yes youll still have injuries but these guys are bringing it upon themselves by the way the use their head as a weapon
