Water Sports Helmets

Essential Safety Gear for Watersports

No matter which water sport you participate in, safeguarding your head is vital. These helmets feature a durable outer shell with premium EVA foam lining, specifically crafted to handle the high-speed, high-impact demands of numerous water sports.

Helmets used in wakeboarding share the same design as those for kitesurfing and water skiing, providing similar levels of protection.

People often enquire whether standard bike or skate helmets can be used for water sports. Despite their similar appearance, they typically lack the strength required to endure the forces experienced during sports such as wakeboarding. Some water sports helmets even include ear covers for additional impact protection.

Whether you need a helmet for kitesurfing, water skiing, or wakeboarding, they must undergo extensive testing to confirm they meet quality standards. Every helmet offered here holds the EN 1385 certification, indicating they are sanctioned for water sports use.

Choosing the Right Helmet for Wakeboarding

Among water sports helmets, wakeboard helmets are likely the most widely accessible. Given the high intensity of wakeboarding, these helmets are robust enough for any watersport you engage in.

To maximise protection, ensuring your helmet fits well is crucial. It must be snug while avoiding excessive tightness. Many helmets offer an adjustable strap to customise the fit. For further guidance, refer to our article on How to Wear a Helmet.

If wakeboarding is your passion, an additional piece of protective equipment to consider would be an Impact Vest.
