Ocean Waves Sunglasses - "Necessity is the mother of invention"Nobody really knows who first made that statement, but odds are he was a fisherman. Fishermen will do whatever it takes to catch fish and enjoy their sport. Kevin Carlson is a serious fisherman. He is also an expert in optics with more than 33 years experience. So when he could not find suitable sunglasses for himself and the buddies he fished with in Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament, his solution was simple - invent the perfect pair of sunglasses. He knew he wanted key features: - Polarizes lenses providing accurate image colors, depth perception, and 100% U.V. protection. - Frames perfectly balanced and durable enough to take the abuse of an avid angler while looking great. Finally, a factory was found in Japan that was able to manufacture a lens to Kevin's demanding specifications. Prototypes were made and top professionals conducted extensive field tests. Ocean Waves Sunglasses were born. The invention originally designed to win fishing tournaments, has now been refined so that all outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy unbeatable visual acuity and eye protection. Our sunglasses are proudly worn by leading professional fishermen boaters, marksmen, racecar drivers, surfers, volleyball players, golfers, snow skiers, and jet skiers. When they need performance, Ocean Waves delivers. Our Passion remains as it was in the beginning - use the latest technology and materials to build an unbeatable pair of sunglasses.
