Frequently asked question about surfing helmets
The right surfing headgear can protect surfers and let them enjoy a comfortable ride. To find out more about our surfing helmets, contact our team of experts or check out our FAQ page.
How do I know what size surfing helmet to get?
The best way to determine the correct size of a surfing helmet is to measure the circumference of your head, just above the ears and eyebrows, using a soft measuring tape. Once you have the measurement, compare it with the surf helmet sizing chart. It’s important to choose a helmet that fits snugly but not too tight to avoid discomfort.
Can I Use a Regular Helmet for Surfing?
No, regular helmets are not designed for surfing and can be dangerous to use in water environments. Regular helmets can become waterlogged, heavy and unstable, making them ineffective for protecting the head during surfing. Helmets for surfing are specifically designed to withstand the water environment, provide the necessary protection and stay in place during intense surfing activities.
What Should I Look for in a Good Surf Helmet?
When looking for a good surf helmet, consider the following factors:
●Material ●Ventilation ●Comfort ●Fit ●Certification
Choose a surfing helmet that is made of durable materials such as foam or plastic, provides adequate ventilation to avoid overheating, is comfortable to wear for extended periods, fits snugly, and is certified to meet industry safety standards.
A web-based survey sent to surf clubs and associations throughout the U.S. found a third of 50 participants had gotten a concussion. The survey was published in the Hawaii Journal of Medicine and Public Health in May 2015.
Dr. David Kruse from the Hoag Orthopedic Institute said in an interview with LA based reporters there are a few possible reasons for the increase in brain injuries in surfing.
“One factor is the introduction and now routine nature of aerial surfing,” Kruse said. “This style of surfing involves the launching of a surfboard off the lip of a wave, performing a maneuver in the air, and then landing with the board back on the face of the wave. This extreme level of surfing is associated with an increase in exposure to injury, including head injuries.”
In the video below you can see two dramatically different takes on surfing headgear from two drastically different surfers who have both suffered head injury in the water. One is a local SOCAL surfer, the other is a 5-time national champion. Here at GameBreaker we recommend you don’t leave your brain health and overall safety in the water up to chance. Protect your head with GameBreaker-PRO surf headgear.
