This may not be overly helpful, but the helmet you see me wear I've had since the near start of my windsurf days. Hoodie under in winter, no hoodie in summer. It's not a "super" fit but I have not found this matters at all except maybe 35+knots the wind catches the front brim and pulls it up
. I like the front brim for summer as I think it helps a bit keeping the sun out of my eyes. Same sun protection for removable ear flaps. Use includes windsurf freestyle work which involves lots of crashing. I can see the front brim may not be good for kiting if your sessions commonly includes getting power dragged across the water. For rare maui surf waves I use the garth helmet which is a much better fit without the front brim that could get caught and yanked.
