Water Sports Helmets

The Necessity of Watersports Helmets for Safety

Regardless of the watersport you engage in, safeguarding your head is crucial. These helmets feature a robust outer shell alongside premium-quality EVA foam inside, crafted specifically to manage the rapid and high-impact conditions common in many water sports.

No variations exist between helmets for wakeboarding and those for kitesurfing or water skiing. They are interchangeable, all fulfilling an identical protective role.

Many individuals query whether a standard bike or skate helmet is suitable for water sports. Despite appearing similar, these helmets are typically inadequate for the stresses associated with sports like wakeboarding. Certain water sports helmets are additionally equipped with ear covers for enhanced impact protection.

For kitesurfing, water skiing, or wakeboarding, watersports helmets undergo stringent testing procedures to verify compliance. The helmets available here hold the EN 1385 certification, confirming their approval for utilisation in water sports.

Selecting a Suitable Wakeboard Helmet

Among water sports helmets, wakeboard helmets are likely the most widely accessible. Due to wakeboarding’s intensity, these helmets offer sufficient protection for your head across any watersport you pursue.

Achieving optimal protection necessitates a proper fit. Your helmet should be secure yet not overly constrictive. Many models include an adjustable head strap to customise the fit to your preference. For further information, consult our guide on How to Wear a Helmet.

In conjunction with a helmet, for those keen on wakeboarding, consider incorporating an Impact Vest as another element of protective equipment.
