Description

In this episode, we dive into what's on your head—or not—when you paddle out. From helmet history and injury prevention to kook stigma and the surprisingly complicated world of surf helmet sizing, this is your no-hype, no-filler guide to whether the helmet revolution is headed for your lineup.
