Best Sunglasses?

^ Just went online and bought a pair. Been needing these for fishing for a long time. Thanks for the tip!
PS, for some reason they gave me a $20 dollar discount so only $79 bucks.
Friend who was a HB lifeguard gave us some Hobies that seemed to work well.
Sounds like I need to try the Costas.

Oh, yeah, and for fishing also!^ Just went online and bought a pair. Been needing these for fishing for a long time. Thanks for the tip!

For the water, intense sun, Costa del Mar are clear winners. Maui jims have solid lenses, but frames are fragile in comparison,
Get Costas.
Get Costas.
You know what they eventually call people like you and Slater? Cataract patients.
I'm sure that genetics come into play, like anything else.
I know that my eyes, having spent less time in the sun over the last 18 months, seems to feel VERY sensitive right now.
I spent years staring into the glare at the beach. Now I spend a day outside in intense sun and they feel burned for days without glasses. My pterygiums flair up much easier now.
I agree...I only wear them when I absolutely necessary...beach, on the water, but hardly ever driving anymore...
Do you shave your head or did you already lose your locks too
Yup.
My research shows that NOT using sunscreen and sunglasses leads to baldness and ripping.
Checking in at 40 here, doing pretty well on the hair front; nobody is confusing a rotund goofy foot over 6 foot for Slater. And the decent hair, rotund, goofy foot, and over 6 foot are my most Slater-like qualities in the context of surfing.
Done a shitload of squinting in my time, but generally pretty regular about sunscreen.
"Do you see it?"
"No, where."
"It's right underneath that mangrove branch. See it, facing right down the shoreline."
"Nope. I see a mangrove branch though, about 20 yards down from the deadfall covered in heron sh!t. That one?"
"Yeah....you can't see it, sitting right there."
"No, but you told me what way it's facing and it's not eating this at mid-day anyway, so I'mma letter rip."
*** Cast set up to mimick baitfish fleeing from laid up predator lands in perfect position. Laid up predator explodes out of hiding place and blasts off that shoreline, leaving large cloudy boil and two pairs of blue balls. ***
I don't know much about long-term effects of sunglasses or no (yet I'll find out) but in the short term, a good pair of polarized seems like it really helps spotting fish.
