RE: [Paddlewise] Use of helmets in the surf zone

I was serious. I never take mine off. My helmet has a visor to shade my
face, so switching to a hat doesn't really offer any advantage. In fact, the
helmet visor is better in the wind because it doesn't blow around. It's just
not worth the hassle factor to try and stow the helmet.
NRS sells Velcro attach visors for those helmets that do not have them.
A helmet doesn't always look as cool, but if anyone makes fun of you, just
whack them in the head with your paddle as hard as you can. They'll stop
after that :-)

All joking aside (please!), I am still looking for an answer to my original
post.  If you are doing distance paddling and want to have a helmet on hand
for surf landings, has anybody found a better solution than strapping the
helmet to your deck.
