Kanoa Flyaway helmets back in production. After seeing a couple of concussions happen while wearing old Flyaway helmets, I came to the conclusion that I didn’t think these were very useful for much besides satisfying a park’s helmet requirement. Someone left a comment that they were being made again, but it sounded like they weren’t being mass produced, and there were no pictures on the web. Well now there is, and no matter what I said about wanting to ditch my old one before, I think I want a new one now. Looks like you can get the OG airbrush action on these. I’m not too crazy about that, or the super wide stripes, but they are a custom option so modifying shouldn’t be a problem. Check it out.
The Kanoa Flyaway helmet are now back in production, and co-sponsors the SMA team. These helmets are crafted from hand-laid surboard fiberglass with custom colored gel coat, custom paint, custom foam, D -rings and German vinyl. Most colors and stripe combinations including “aribrush “can be custom made to order.
Currrently, they are only available at Rip City in Santa Monica. Three helmets will be in stock there most times. Specific colors and stripe combinations can be custom ordered through Jim at (310) 828-0388.

very very cool, but $189? To start? Wow. I’d love one, but too rich for my blood.

three words sum this up:
VELVET STORAGE BAG.

Kind of like a big crown royal bag.
No plastic bags or packaging used.
They ship in a small brown box and the bag only.
The bag helps protect the paint and can be used to polish the helmet as well.
Lots of people tend to use the bag for pads which is much better than stuffing the pads into the helmet itself.
The bag is really just a bonus that helps your helmet look better.
Pro tec makes a fleece helmet bag.

skateboard safety and cool helmet are both oxymorons
