I don't know what's wrong with me but I hit my head with the tail of me board a couple months ago and got 8 stitches on my forehead. Doctor told me not to go in the water for over a week so that's what I did. Well, yesterday, I hit my head again, this time on the back of my head and again, got like 15 stitches (the doc actually stapled my skin together...) Funny thing is, both times, both my feet didn't come out out of the bindings. How long do I have to wait before I go back in the water? I hoping not too long... Also, I know that wearing a helmet will help with these gashes my board gives me...but what about the other side effects? I've read that helmet=larger surface area=bigger impact. Besides, it pulls your head back when you hit the water hard. Another Q. Can I wear any kind of helmet or does it have to be water specific? What's the difference? I have a helmet for snowboarding but I'm not really sure that want to get it in the water...
