The Vandal Helmet is a Mystic technical helmet for wing, kite, foil, and wave-riding sessions. Head protection is underused in these sports — a foil with carbon blades, a board at speed, or a wipeout on rocky waves can cause serious injury. A good technical helmet changes the equation.

Who should wear it:

• Wing-foil and kitefoil riders: the foil under the board is a real risk on wipeouts.
• Wave riders: rocks, other surfers, your own board.
• Kite riders: whipping in gusty conditions.
• Getting started in any discipline: protects while you learn.

Our recommendation at El Niño Mallorca. If you foil (any discipline), a helmet isn't optional: it's the accessory that makes the biggest difference if things go wrong. For wave riding or kite sessions with shifty winds, also highly recommended. If unsure about fit or size, try before buying — we can help in our physical store. If in doubt, get in touch.
