Hey dont be mistaken in thinking that gaths stand up to australian standards. If you had looked closely you would know that they are called gath hats! They provide light impact protection and guard from the sun and wind! Its illegal for them to be called helmets!

Trust me if you wear a gath and expect it to save you then your brain might not be worth saving anyway!

Go for a protec! They conform to standards and they come in sweet colours.

Gath masticate falice with the best of them if you get my drift.

Dave.

by the way...thats kiting with a surboard...not just surfing!

LMAO - now that IS funny.
Dunno if its accurate or fair but bloody funny either way

i turned around yesterday to get a surfboard fin in the forehead, probably should have got stiches but i dont reckon any helmet would have stopped that.

yeah a helmet wouldnt of helped this one either, but its the principle lol... it COULD have helped it...

there was a review in one of the latest Boarder mags about helmets... it has capix and protech, protech won i think... but flippin thru the pages its a pretty equal spread of all 3... Pryme, Protech and Capix... so go with watever...

Apparently protechs are cheaper too but Im not getting a helmet to protect my head as such. Wearing the capix backwards means I have heaps more protection to my neck.
Its a bit weird because I have only hit my head a couple of times surfing yet heaps more when I get done in a wave with kite and a surfboard. Up north Ill leash on the board only because if you lose it, itll end up under the cliffs.
So no one in WA has one?
