Any reason I cant use a snowboard helmet as a wakeboard helmet for just one day at ski rixen? Thanks.

God for it! The only downside will be that since it has open-cell foam, it will take on lots of water. Which shouldn't be a problem, since it's used to holding up that fat head anyway;)

Alright thanks I'll try it...should I cut out any padding that would act liek a sponge?

If you cut the padding out, I think it would make the helmet fit more poorly... whether it's worse to have a heavy helmet, or a bad-fitting helmet, I'm not sure. Pick the lesser of the two evils!!
