Surf helmets
Supanimal posted an excellent video recently and was wearing a helmet. I have been umming and arring about doing the same, so I sent him a message on the breeze messages. Decision made now, will be buying a helmet. Thanks for the info you PM'd me. Hope you mind if I post it here?
Yep, been wearing one for about 7 years now and hate surfing without it. Reasons are firstly I got knocked unconscious and ended up in hospital. Had I had it on it may not have happened. I also have very little hair so it keeps the sun away in summer and keeps me toastie in winter. Those reasons aside, I also have surfers ear in both ears from years surfing cold early morning waves without ear protection from wind and the helmet protects them from that issue. All great and valid reasons. Too many to not wear it IMO. They take a few sessions to get used to but you tune in and become as habit forming as a leggie. Gath sell on eBay and online. They are the best. There are 2 types. Check their web page at Gath sports. Try different types in a stockist shop a nice snug fit like undies. Not loose but not pressing on your head. Hope that helps
