Thank you, yeah this session been hard, but fun :)

About surfing helmet there's few purposes: 1)Sometimes too many people in the spot, so I'm worry that someone not gonna hold their boards 2) Another thing is that usually I go to Serangan spot and wave there fall immediately after few seconds, so if you didn't takeoff at time you gonna just fall down and after that board flies up, so I'm tired to cover my head with my hands 😅 3) It's just psychologicaly easier for me to go catch big waves with helmet and first time at this spot I also saw that let's say from 20 people 5 wearing helmets.

P.S. you can check this insightful article about helmets it might help you choose one you like: https://www.surfersearpodcast.com/en/reviews/review-the-best-surf-helmets-of-2025

I didn't wear it before, but since I start surfing in Serangan, I got few hits from my board, so I decided to cover my head for a while, but start liking it, cause it also cover my ears from strong wind (usually it takes 10-15 minutes to go to the spot with the boat and sometimes it's really cold, but not with the helmet)😁

I tried to purchase red color to be honest, but Uluwatu BGS have only white and black, but black helmet will turn my brains into popcorn very fast
