RedactedNarrative: operator was operating a pwc on the currituck sound.  He had launched from the whale head club and was headed south towards the wright memorial bridge.  Being unfamiliar with the area, he was staying within 200 yards of the east shoreline.  Operator was operating the vessel at greater than no-wake speed and estimated his speed to be between 21-40 mph when he noticed a grass bed just ahead of him. As the vessel entered the grass bed, it ran aground forcing operator forward abruptly and causing him to strike his head on the handlebars.  Operator was temporarily dazed and the impeller was clogged with grass so he sat on the pwc for a few minutes.  A passing boater approached him and asked if he was alright and operator told them what had happened.  The boater called 911 and assisted him in cleaning out the impeller.  After cleaning out the impeller, the boater followed operator back to the whale head club where currituck ems was waiting.  After an initial observation, ems recommended for operator to go to the hospital for a more thorough screening.  Operator took their advice and rode in the ambulance to the outer banks hospital.  Operator was seen by the er doctor and was released a shor time later ith a minor concussion.
