In surfing your head rarely needs to go below water, which of course allows it to get solidly whacked with the board you just fell from. I'd rather drag my face along a sandy surface (a wonderful exfoliant, by the way) than have a surfboard fall out of the sky and conk me on the noggin'--specially if I wasn't wearing a PFD.
