Can't find anywhere that the Boeri Mojo helmet is available with the EPS foam. It would be good if there was a better helmet for kiteboarding than the current soft foam models.

one more piece of advice m2736185. I did some hand stitched repairs before I bought my sewing machine. It would take me over 10 hours for a relatively simple repair.
