^^^LOL But about the helmet if you feel like wearing one it is up to you. I personally dont like them but some do. the problem is I feel invincable and think i can do everything with it one. That is when things start to hurt.

I'm wondering about a helmet too, and injuries in general. Is the board likely to hit me in the head? Should I be concerned about knocking the crap out of my head on the water (I've hit it pretty hard already and the water doesn't seem too bad, but I am new to this)?

On the water I too feel invincible since it seems like such a nice soft place to crash compared to snowboarding, but I know there's real danger there, how careful do I need to be?

I came off my board big style and I got a perforated ear drum. Helmet sounds like good idea to me mate but I cudn't b bothered wearin one unless i was gonna do sum rails and stuff.

I know of someone who got knocked unconscious after falling hard on the water, so a helmet might be a good idea.
