Photokeratitis

The sun is intensely strong in Thailand even when overcast, and the reflection from a surfboard and the water is enough to damage your retinas. Having burnt eyeballs really sucks, it's like having grit permanently stuck to the inside of your eyelids. What to do...wear eye protection or slowly go blind? Blueye's Greeenroom surf goggles (Bt 5,000) seem to be the best on the market, designed specifically for surfing with 100% UV protection, venting, anti-fog coating and impact resistent lenses.

Last Thursday

Swell arrived, surfed the point in the morning on the drop with a few guys out, not bad but was better on the push in the afternoon when the wind dropped. Averaging chest to shoulder high faces with a few true head high sets coming through on the outside. Beach was head high and closing out late afternoon.
