I hate wakeboards!!! Don't look if you don't like blood...

Wentwakeboarding the first time since about a years worth of only wakeskating and this kinda happened...

The wakeboard went through the back of the helmet and this was the carnage that resulted... Kinda glad I was wearing a helmet...

Hole in helmet

Hole in head

I basically did a kind of skorpion tail thing and bent over backwards. I was still in the bindings after it happened.

apple103, I already have four nice stitches. You can take them out if you like Smash

You coming to the european cable championships in Almere this weekend???

Scorpion = Bad!

What kind of helmet man?

A Capix. I don't want to trash the helmet, nor the company, because in a way it did actually save me from far worse injury!

Boy am I glad that I do ride with a helmet always!!!

C-WAY Crew, IrieDaily is a pretty nice streetwear label over here in Germany from Berlin. I grabbed a bunch of their stickers somewhere... Very Happy

andrewbutler, i'm with ya, i love both! its nice to have the straps for some big hang time every once in a while.. but as well as having no straps keeps the technical side of a board spot in check
