Why would you want to use a snowboard helmet? There are plenty of water sport helmets out there. I also wakeboard and surf. I use my Pro Tec, Ace Wake helmet for the wake and take off the ear pads when I go mountain biking or skateboarding. Consider these options.
Ace Wake: $47.00 / www.protechelmets.com, www.shredready.com, nice helmets and the Gath Surf helmet, www.gathsports.com. The Gath are not the coolest looking but they do the job. You won’t look very cool after you hit some rocks without one. The point is to wear a helmet but this is a “Water Sport”. If you ride something more xtreem, try the Bell Moto X full face! By the way Rick..What do you think of a barefoot water ski suit as an impact vest. It seems to be more comfortable. www.barts.com |

Polaris if you read the website you will have noticed that the Sweet "Rocker" IS a watersports specific helmet. In a high speed impact, the Gath will protect your scalp OK but your skull will crack like an eggshell. From what ive read, most KBoarding head injury deaths occur on land at high speeds hitting concrete or wood.....this is similar to snowboarding/skiing head injurys. The Gath was designed for surfers riding reefbreaks. A surfers head is traveling through water before impact, which slows head speed down real good(more dense than air) Also it has to be compact to reduce drag inhibiting neck injury.
Sweet helmets have multiple layers of pretection. Gath has 1-2 layers, a poly shell and a thin soft foam interior liner. The sweet helmet is also used by extreme white water kayakers. |
