I did not read it but I do have Sena for my Paramotor helmet. Works with blue tooth and is great for listening to music or making a call while flying. I don't know how it would do in salt water though.

Thanks for looking around. The helmet is a bit bulkier than desirable for kiting with higher water impact force, the polystyrene foam can absorb water and I don't know how well the electronics would fare in full time saltwater service.
