I have solved that problem, for my vacation to Corsica. I want to wear a
helmet in surf, but don't want it on my deck or on my head the whole
day. So I made myself a foldable helmet. It consists of 1 cm closed cell
foam, from a camping-matress, covered with some very tough nylon fabric.
Of course a hard helmet would be better, but at least this is a helmet I
am prepared to take with me. 

It was a tough job for my sewing machine!
