RW,
I see that it’s a water sports helmet but it’s for “white water” kayaking or rafting. I’m sure that you could hit a rock at full force (if your into that stuff). I did wakeboard with a product similar to the Sweet Rocker and found it to be too much. But that’s me. I’m comfortable with the Ace Wake and a friend of mine is with the Gath. You posted the question as inquiring about a specific product (that you didn’t know about.) I presented informed options based on experience. Now I see that you know more than you let on, but that’s O.K.

The most important thing is that we need to ALL wear helmets!! (even a moto X type if you want)

Bye the way. I saw your site and loved your artwork. Ever thought of kiteboard and kite graphics. What’s out there is really boring. I think your style would work on this.

Helmets are Cool!
 

Thanks for the compliments on my art Polaris, and yes i would like to do Kite related art, im still a kiteboarding novice having only kited for almost two years so i feel im ready now to create some kite art, now that i know the basics about kiting.
BTW I must make a confession, i use an old Gath helmet when i kite. Its all i have right now. Originally i planned to use this Gath for surfing reef breaks in lands far away, but since i kite more than i surf, i use it for kiteboarding which will protect me minimally(hopefully maximally untill i get a better helmet) Yes, you are correct, a helmet is better than no helmet .........PERIOD.

Nice artwork RW! You should consider working up some kiteboarding themes. It would be great to see what you come up with. There is even a forum for it at:

The rocker is a nice helmet but man is it expensive..

I know itll be worth that much and more under circumstances, but I cant see shelling out that much for a helmet. Its hypocritical but Id spend much more on a motorcycle helmet.


here's one a little more in my price range.

the protec wake helmet's nice too.

I guess in the end at least you're wearing a helmet....
