So, I’ve never felt the need to proclaim the awesomeness of a pair of sunglasses before. That is, until I got my latest pair. The Smith Rambler is a piece that seems like it was made just for me.

I’ve been wearing the Super Methods until a tragic dropping accident one day teaching on the pond. I was skeptical about trying another pair after believing I was as pleased as I could be with the Super Methods. The one major thing I never really thought about when picking out sunglasses in the past was how well they really stick to my head. All glasses fit on my head but do they really grab on? The Rambler has Smith’s “Hydrophilic Megol Nose and Temple Pads,” in english, that’s good rubber that sticks to your face even when you’re sweating and getting soaked kayaking.

I always thought I would have to sacrifice style if I wanted a functional piece like that. The Rambler has the full size body that really covers my eyes and sticks. So, if you are thinking about upgrading your current shades, I would give the Rambler a shot. This is a fully independent review.

Well, my last week of summer has finally made it’s way in. While I am excited to finish my Senior year at NMU. Leaving Colorado is never easy. It’s been an epic season out here with flows holding out far better than expected. Like clockwork I again finished the season up with an awesome M-Wave session. The cold water and hot sun makes for the perfect combination. Hanging with the legendary Stevo Parker just doesn’t get too much better. The Liquidlogic Biscuit is made for this wave. It has the loosest hull around and the forgiving edges are just what you need on a super fast feature like M Wave. This year was one of the first years I’ve had, where I actually felt in control on that beastly wave. Until next year. I hope some photos keep the stoke alive. Stevo was having a good time playing with angles on my camera. Should make some great Driven EP. 4 footage.

Don’t waste any more time. Summer is ending and you don’t want to regret not getting out there while you still have the time!
