Water Sports Helmets

Watersports Helmets Are Essential Protection

Whatever watersports you participate in, it’s always crucial to keep your head protected. These helmets are constructed with a hard shell and high-quality EVA foam inside, specifically designed to handle the fast-paced, high-impact nature of many water sports.

Helmets for wakeboarding aren’t designed any differently from kitesurfing helmets or water ski helmets. They all overlap and serve the same purpose.

Many wonder if you can use a regular bike or skate helmet for water sports. Although they may appear similar, they are generally not strong enough to withstand the forces involved with sports like wakeboarding. Some water sports helmets also come with ear covers to provide extra impact protection.

Watersports helmets, whether for kitesurfing, water skiing, or wakeboarding, must go through a rigorous testing process to ensure they meet standards. All the helmets stocked here have the EN 1385 certification, meaning they are approved for water sports usage.

How Do I Choose a Wakeboard Helmet?

Wakeboard helmets are probably the most commonly available water sports helmet. As wakeboarding is one of the highest intensity watersports, these helmets are strong enough to protect your head in whatever watersport you participate in.

To get the most protection, it’s key that your helmet fits. It should be snug but not too tight. Many helmets have an adjustable head strap so you can alter the fit as you like. If you want to know more, then have a look at our guide on How to Wear a Helmet.

Along with a helmet, if you’re into wakeboarding, another piece of protective gear you should consider is an Impact Vest.
