Fell off my face after I face planted yesterday. Yes I know riding with them on was a bad idea, and the guy that helped me launch did tell me I would loose them :P but if you came across them I will reward with a 6 pack.

It was an outgoing tide so they are probably long gone, not too fussed really but worth a shot :)!

Ouch

I stupidly did the same last year with a pair of rare grey framed polarised Gascans.

I actually forgot to take them off before I got on the water and couldn't be bothered to go back in and put them in my kitebag. Sure enough, about an hour later when I was thinking "hey- I'm doing really well not to have los................."

***SMACK!***

Suffice to say, Oakley may use big, silly names like "Unobtanium", and O-Matter etc etc...............but it don't float Cap'n!

Man, I hate to say I told you so, but...

Hope the sea gods return them.

In fact I feel so bad, I've got a pair of Zephyr water glasses you can have if you want 'em (Like the seabreeze ones but crappier!) - PM me if you want them.

Hehe nah its all good mate (were you actually the guy that launched me?), thanks for the offer but I got another spare pair for now.

I am going to invest in a Gath with a visor to solve my sun problems, (I get a headache after 2 minutes in the sun without anything). And considering I hit my head in the shallows on Saturday it might be a good investment!

Yep, that was me. Check for other's opinions before investing in a Gath, unless you've used one before - seen a bit of negative press on the suitability of the visor for kiting, but each to their own.
I bought a box of 10 pairs of these Zephyrs after losing 2 other pairs of sunnies - as usual, can't loose the cheap ones if you try. Still got 8 pairs, so you're welcome to a set.

Haha you sure did jinx me :P (kidding), I used a gath years ago when I used to windsurf and had no issues with it, but I might do some research thanks for the tip!
