Hey fellow Wakeboarders!

I'm a University of Cincinnati design sutdent working on designing a new helmet for wakeboarding and I would really appreciate your help! If you could take 5 mins to fill out my survey it would be extremely helpful! I'd really like to work with this community of riders to design the next best thing in helmets specifically for wakeboarders.
The more input from you, the better the result will be. I would also love to post my results right here on WakeBoarder.com.

I also have friends doing research for snowboarding and skateboarding so if you wouldn't mind filling out the survey more than once it would be GREATLY appreciated.

The survey is here:

THANK YOU!

You should have asked if there should be a cup-holder or not. For the record, I would have marked 'yes'.

I filled out all your surveys and stuff, do you ride at wake nation? I know a bunch of people go to UC that ride there

I don't wear a helmet for riding wake, probably never will unless I go to a cable park. The thing I fail to understand is why none of the wake helmets protect the ears? Last summer one of my crew popped an ear drum, and I've heard of it around the forums a few times also. So maybe something that is comfy and covers the ears Question
