my SeaSpecs sunglasses saved my left eye

I had an interesting experience with my Sea Specs yesterday and would like to tell you about it, please feel free to post it on your website, I have attached a picture of me in my new sea specs after a surf lesson.

Yesterday while paddling out to surf in the China Uemura longboard classic, I paddled out like I would have any other day. Queens beach was INCREDIBLY crowded, so all of the women were dodging people in the various lineups to their best ability to get out to the contest break, a split second decision made by a surfer to turn around and take off on a wave likely would have taken my eye out or at least severely injured it and made a really bad end to my day. But I was wearing my sea specs. The surfer turned around and took off on a wave at the last second thinking they could make it without hitting me, but of course they fell, the surfer's board flipped and while carrying A LOT of forward momentum, hit me HARD, it seems the tip of the surfer's longboard actually bounced off my sunglasses. I had nowhere to go and no time to dive under because people were EVERYWHERE. In a split second I heard/felt a loud CRACK and my head was sandwiched between the two boards; the surfer must have fell on top of their board because the boards actually compressed with my head between them as well, everyone who saw it couldn't believe I was okay. This included the other competitors I paddled out with, who saw what happened. While waiting for our heat, we all concluded that my SeaSpecs sunglasses saved my left eye. I appear to have a little concussion and a nice black eye. However, my SeaSpecs saved me, and to my own shock, they are still intact although covered in board wax. Believe it or not, I still got to surf my heat while wearing my stylin' SeaSpecs.

Thank you SeaSpecs,
