Flew off my face while jet skiing with a friend when I poorly* jumped a massive fucking boat wake that nearly threw me off the damn thing. (I was going around 30 mph+.)

I have had them for 5 years and they were scratched to shit. So oh well. I’ve brought them on numerous jet skiing trips and they hadn’t fallen off till now. So at least they lasted that long.

Also side note, the Jetta should never be used for towing. Ever.

That’s the proper way for a pair of Oakley’s to go out.

Yup, I actually used them for their intended purpose so I'm not even mad they went out like that.

I didn’t start being careful with my shades until I started getting them with my prescription. I will go as far as to wear “Croakies” with my tom ford’s.

5 years is a good stint for any pair of glasses though, what are ya gonna replace em with?

Lol only 30? I’ve hit 65 in a supercharged 200hp seadoo. Went off a huge wake and went nose down into the other wake and submerged the whole thing. popped up like a breaching whale. The force of going underwater peeled back my eyelids.

It was too choppy to go any faster without flying off.

Yup, luckily I don’t have glasses so it’s easy for me.

I’ll probably replace them with another set of Oakleys for work and jet skiing, shit like that and a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers for everything inbetween.

Once I hit 50 I just started skipping over them. It was two foot chop from the 4th of July traffic

This is exactly how I lost my last pair of sunglasses. Ok, not exactly. I was on the back of a supercharged Waverunner and we were going closer to 60 when the driver turned and we both went flying. I managed to reveal a rib in the process.

Now I buy cheap safety glasses in bulk. It doesn't matter if they get scratched or lost. When I lost the pair in the lake, I had a spare waiting in the car.

I wasn't paying too much mind to it, but I'd say it was a healthy 3 foot fucker that I hit. Didn't throttle in enough......

Oh, the wake? The wake I hit was highre than my head. Going off that was a *bad* idea.

That's a good idea. I'll just buy a bunch of cheap ones on Amazon or something haha.

I learned the trick in high school. I used to put my glasses down in the middle of the bench seat in my truck. One of my girlfriends never looked before she scooted into the middle and she broke three or four pairs. For Christmas, she bought me a dozen pairs of cheap sunglasses.
