what do you use for goggles in surf?

[Fro Diesel]

?I am thinking of using my snowboard goggles. they are oakley. I need something to keep the water out of my eyes in the surf. When you come up on a wave that is red with sand and it blast through to the back of your skull. What do you use?

In all honesty, to answer your question, you have to look for water GOGGLES- Oakley makes different ones, some for snow, some for skydiving, some for Motocross, etc.
Some different ones are here:

That's right, I forgot about the Spex. Polarized are the shiznit on the water too.

i can't wear goggles when i ride, they drive me crazy. Salt water never bothers me so it's no goggles for me.

Jeff, I never use goggles for freeride. I wore them when I raced, but hated them.
I find in Lake michigan riding this time of year they fog up big time due to the really cold water.

your eyes will burn for a second, then after that they get use to it.

I have seen people where them on lake michigan. I was just curious bc when the waves are coming in strong the wind usually is too, and sometimes it can get hard to see. But i really don't see a need for them, just thought i would stir a bit of discussion on the topic. To each their own, but i can unsderstand the fogging is a good reason not to bother.

no goggles here either.

No goggles just use eye drops to cure the red eye in the surf.

i've been using a pair of motorcycle riding sunglasses, they came with a strap, and have changeable lenses, clear, amber, and smoke. the amber seems to work the best. i put a little rain x on them and they work great in the ocean. they cost me about 20.00 at the local m/c shop.
