Davon Larson and Paul Huang, who met at Google, designed Surf Skull, a low-profile surfing helmet, after Larson's board hit him in the head in Baja California. The helmet uses a non-Newtonian foam and a slip layer meant to reduce rotational forces, and the company has applied for a utility patent. They came in with about $100,000 in lifetime sales, asked for $50,000 for 12%, and accepted $50,000 for 20% from Daniel Lubetzky.
