Water Sports Helmets

Watersports Helmets Are Crucial Defence

Regardless of which watersport you engage in, safeguarding your head is always crucial. These helmets feature a robust outer shell and top-notch EVA foam lining, specially crafted to handle the quick-paced, high-impact characteristics of numerous water sports.

Helmets used for wakeboarding are essentially the same as those for kitesurfing or water skiing. They are interchangeable and serve an identical function.

Many people wonder whether a standard bike or skate helmet can be used for water sports. While they might appear similar, they are typically not durable enough to endure the forces experienced in sports such as wakeboarding. Certain water sports helmets also include ear covers for added impact defence.

Watersports helmets, whether for kitesurfing, water skiing, or wakeboarding, must undergo a stringent testing regime to confirm their compliance with regulations. Every helmet available here has the EN 1385 certification, indicating their suitability for water sports activities.

What Should I Consider When Selecting a Wakeboard Helmet?

Wakeboard helmets are possibly the most prevalent type of water sports helmet. Given wakeboarding's status as a particularly high-intensity sport, these helmets are sufficiently robust to safeguard your head across various watersports.

To maximise protection, it's crucial that your helmet fits correctly. It should be comfortable but not overly tight. Many helmets offer an adjustable head strap that allows you to customise the fit to your preference. If you wish to learn more, please refer to our guide on How to Wear a Helmet.

In addition to a helmet, if you're keen on wakeboarding, another piece of protective equipment to consider is an Impact Vest.
