Should You Be Wearing A Helmet To Kite?

This is a question I get asked all the time and the answer isn't a simple one. I break down the pro's and con's of wearing a helmet when kitesurfing so you can decide if it's right for you.

At last a fantastic and bias free of the reasons to wear or not wear a helmet. :)
I always wear one, but wouldnt expect others to unless I was helping someone learn. I do wear work gloves though, had a very nasty cut from a shellfish some years ago...another mm or so deeper would have seen me in A+E
Agree 100% with the neck issues. Cable-park wakeboarding with helmet - helmet grabs a lot of water upon entry. Seems a very thin helmet (hockey? )might be a balanced alternative.

Yes...helmet it's challenging a lot your muscles of the neck specially when you start to try landing triks in blind modality...so you fall pushed from behind...!! P.s. make a topic where you talk about hears protections... Cheers.

Haha...for sure! Will do mate!
I like and dislike my helmet. I hit sand and face planted 2x. The helmet is light but when I face timed the water the helmets weight added to the pain in my neck
When you are the only one wearing a helmet at the beach, you feel there is something wrong with your self. You are the uncool person, the beginner. I am a father of 4 children and I have a responsibility not only to them but also my self - so why not take care of your self and wear a helmet? Why wear a seatbelt in the car? Nothing is going to happen, they are uncomfortable, but we still wear them as they safe lives.
