Thanks All for the help. I found the solution. LAX Helmet and a motocross neck brace (wouldn't ride without one, won't ski in a lid without one). A little strange coming out of the water the first few times as the brace limits how close I can put my chin to my chest but after a couple of outs I don't even know this stuff is on. Feels good to ski again.....surfing was starting to get old. http://gear.insidelacrosse.com/sites/default/files/imagesimages/outlaws_white_bg.jpg http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0108/5372/products/brace-blk2_1024x1024.jpg?142 Again, thanks for all the suggestions.

Thanks guys all intriguing ideas. I appreciate the input and I may have to look into the LAX helmets closer. I have considered kayaking and BMX helmets but the lacrosse lid is a new idea to me. Thanks again!

I took a nasty fall this spring. Came out the front, tumbled and my face found the tip of the ski. Long story short, 19 days in hospital, 2 separate surgeries, and 7 titanium plates were needed to put my face back together. My season is pretty much done for the year. Assuming my wife will let me get behind the boat again I need to find a helmet suitable to protect against this kind of injury. I would like some kind of full faced helmet as an open faced would have done little to protect against this injury. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
