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.

Default 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.

-Phil

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....
