Went surfing once and pretty sure I got concussed.

San Diego. Took a morning surfing class with this girl I knew out there. Towards the end I wiped out, and as soon as I came up to the surface, some other surfer whammed me right in the head with his or her board. Knocked me a bit dizzy. In hindsight, I probably had a slight concussion. Two hours later I went skydiving. One hour after that I was throwing up on the side of a California freeway.
