Water Sports Helmets

Significance of Watersports Helmets

It is vital to ensure your head is safeguarded, regardless of the water sport you engage in. These helmets feature a robust outer shell and top-tier EVA foam internally, crafted to endure the swift and high-impact demands of numerous water sports.

The design of helmets for wakeboarding does not differ from those for kitesurfing or water skiing. They all overlap in function and serve the same protective purpose.

Many people question the use of a standard bike or skate helmet for water sports. Though they might appear similar, they generally lack the strength to endure the forces encountered in activities like wakeboarding. Some watersports helmets also include ear covers, offering additional protection against impacts.

Whether it's for kitesurfing, water skiing, or wakeboarding, watersports helmets must undergo a stringent testing regimen to meet required standards. All the helmets available here boast the EN 1385 certification, indicating their approval for use in water sports.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a Wakeboard Helmet?

Wakeboard helmets are arguably the most prevalent type of water sports helmet. Given that wakeboarding is among the most intense watersports, these helmets provide ample head protection for any water sport you pursue.

For optimal protection, your helmet must fit properly. It should be snug but not overly restrictive. Many helmets include an adjustable head strap, allowing you to modify the fit to your preference. To learn more, please refer to our guide on How to Wear a Helmet.

If you're into wakeboarding, in addition to a helmet, you should also contemplate acquiring an Impact Vest as another protective gear option.
