Wore this helmet wing foiling in the ocean and while I don't think it's a perfect solution for foiling, the fit and comfort was well beyond any other helmet that I've worn. I completely forgot I had a helmet on once I was into the session, it's light, fits perfect and disappears on ya head.
For surfing, in critical, or heavy waves of consequence or to avoid any blunt injuries, it's a "no brainer."
My only concern for foiling would be to take a foil tip to the head where it could go through the slots of the helmet. The slots are there for surfing, to ease the impact on the water, which I noticed and make sense for surfing but will be the only reason I'll continue wearing my other helmet for foiling, but will 10000% switch to this one for surfing.
This new helmet fits perfectly for me. I measured at 58 and went with the medium over the large to have a tight fit and prevent any movement on the water. I plan to where this foil surfing and wing foiling to reduce the impact during falls.
