Testimonials

-I've had a few chances now to test the surf goggles and I do love your product! I think it provides protection for something that is extremely overlooked in water sports and I for one really don't want to fry my eyes. ---Barrett Perlman, pro wakeboarder

-These are Awesome! I went surfing at Oceanside and the glare was so bad a local tried to buy them off of me in the water. ---Joshua Hunter (Transworld Surf Magazine)

-Used them last couple days at Sunset and they worked great!  Also loaned them to my buddy "Surf Mike" and he raves about them, as he's tried Oakley's and every other pair on the market and says yours "are the best yet".  So, so far a hit.  Don't know if you know of or remember "Booby Jones", but he was a former Duke winner and big wave rider in the 80's and he wants to try a pair, as he's been using various other brands.  So, so far well received on the North Shore! Thanks for turning me on to a pair and I think you've got a good practical product with this item! ---Aloha, Randy Rarick (Surfer, Legend, Promoter)

-For a long time we (eye doctors) have been trying to get surfers to wear sun protection but nobody has designed a pair of sunglasses that they can live with. It is a great relief finally to see that Kurtis surf goggles offers the protection we want and the flexibility they want. ---Dr. John Hovanesian, an eye surgeon with Harvard Eye Associates (www.harvardeye.com), a renowned researcher and speaker on pterygiums and other eye diseases.

-Loved the goggles - had 3 good wrecks and didn't lose them! ---Rodney, wakeboarder seen here wearing Kurtis surf goggles

-They are stable when riding or paddling, are comfortable, lightweight, provide no restrictions on vision and are the best on the market that I have tried. ---Dr. Gregory Char (Lifelong surfer, optometrist, has a pterygium on his left eye from UV damage when surfing)

-The goggles really proved themselves on Christmas. The news reported gusts up to 107mph on this day, so talk about plumes of whitewater. I surfed SilverStrand first thing in the morning with just 2 of my friends out and they were so jealous the whole time that I wasn't getting spray in the face.---David Burroughs - Surfer/Reporter -Ventura County Star

-My SurfGoggles now stay on my head while I'm in the water or on the beach. I didn't realize how really cool these things were until I took them off after wearing them all day in the surf and then put on my regular shades. I immediately realized that I totally lost my peripheral vision due to the side bars on my sunglasses. F*!k that. I now wear my SurfGoggles everywhere. ---Mako, Oceanside, CA

-Kurtis Surf Goggles are changing the face of surfing… I wore them in Indo and will continue to wear them. ---Bob McKnight (founder & CEO of Quiksilver)

-Hey, I tried the surf goggles out a few days ago after school and they worked super well. i didn't squint nearly as much or need to shade my eyes from the sun with my hand. It really was a big difference. :) ----Marissa Shaw, San Clemente High School Surf Team

-Kurtis Surf Goggles Advantage: Being able to see well in very harsh sun conditions. Protecting your eyes from the damaging effects of the sun. (Which I do think is important). They never fogged at all… ---Darryl Dickie, Hermosa Beach Hall of Fame Surfer – Indonesia test pilot

-I just had two retinal tears and detachments in my right eye.I am back surfing now after a 3 months lay off but I can't take the glare of the sun anymore.Your goggles are a Godsend,I tried all the others,they suck for surfing.You made it fun for me to surf again,mahalo a nui loa.P.S my friends say I look baaad with my shades,doesn't hurt! ---Patrick Ariihere Brault (Maui HI)

Awesome. I can't wait to get protected again. I feel like I'm surfing naked without Kurtis.  ps--I would never really buy B@$z or other cheap rip-off since I've heard they're not in your league, and they don't work anyway. yours gratefully, --- Kevin K (San Diego, CA)

Aloha!  --- the reason I want your shades in the first place... the reason I ran after that guy coming out of the water a few weeks ago at Ho'okipa who was still wearing your shades after his session (most other shades don't seem to stay on so good) to ask where he got 'em-- is because I had cataract eye surgery last year at a ridiculously young age because, apparently, I spend WAY too much time outdoors in the sun and surf! (How's THAT for a run-on sentence?) So I really need to protect my eyes and I prefer to look good doing it! I will do my best to do your shades justice. Aloha nui ---Cissy

"...love them. spend a lot of time on the water and have some serious ptrediums dr. says keep them protected and they will shrink. well ive been using kurtis shades on my sup and 1man canoe. even when the surf is small ill surf with em and my ptrediums have gotten smaller." mahalo ---Leleo Kinimaka

-My eyes are fried from years of surfing. Dr. H told me about Kurtis Surf Goggles and now I can continue to surf and protect my eyes. Thanks for designing such a great product. ---Derek Fritts ( Carlsbad, CA)

-The Duke’s are sick! Stayed on in El Salvador and I continue to wear them after work at El Porto (brutal glare). Thanks! ---William S (Manhattan Beach, CA)

-Thank you too very much for the goggles, and I - as well as my uncle, who is an everyday old-school longboarder - will continue to wear them. ---Brandon Lee (Surfer, Honolulu Star Bulletin))

-Been using these goggles for  the last four days straight I am completely stoked. Attached is a word doc that'll go into Heavywater mag:

"Took it out to the north shore twice, town once, long distance once and also did a little SUP paddle workout at Ala Moana Beach park today with no wind. I've never seen the bottom which is twenty foot deep. It wa kind of weird. These Kurtis' are unbelievable.

Thanks and we'll send mags when the review comes out.

- So Heavywater Cali man Cody Graham told me about these new surf goggles called Kurtis and how well they work so I tell him to send some over. Kurt, the man behind the product is on it immediately and I give it a test drive:

One straight week and I have to give it a perfect 10 points for these reasons.

1. These ultra lightweight goggles come with neoprene neck strap and after getting blown down a lip a Laniakea on a six-foot face, the Kurtis goggles are still in one piece. They also float.
2. Kurtis goggles are 100% UV protection for your eyes and the polarized lens makes it easy to see the reef on low tide. Took it out one day and on a super glassy day you can see down 20 feet. What a trip. Perfect for SUP days.
3. The other thing is that they wrap around your head so your vision is fully protected from that side glare.
4. These glasses also have the easiest water slide off I’ve ever tried. No more water splash build up.

No more cataract surgery, macular degeneration, pterygium or corneal damage. Ask for them at your local core surf shop like Wet Feet in Aina Haina or go to Www.KurtisUSA.com. Also, http://www.myspace.com/kurtisusa or call Kurtis USA (310) 529-5707. --- Reid Inouye - Heavywater Magazine

-Check out this photo of me getting tubed wearing my kurtis shades! I surfed 6 hours the day before and fried my eyes, thank God for the shades! ---Holly Beck - Pro Surfer

-Hi, Thank you so much for getting back to me about the goggles. We went to "Wet Feet" this afternoon and bought a pair of the "Makaha" goggles. He surfed with them right after and loved them! Thank you again.
---Carol Yee (Honolulu, HI)

-I've been digging the goggles for sure. I'm a fan and seems like there's a real market in the kiteboarding industry for them. Cheers! : ) ---Gretta Kruesi (Professional Kiteboarder - Naish Team Rider)
