You don't need to open your eyes underwater. If you wear contacts, think about the solution you use to store and rinse them. Saline Solution. The ocean is just more concentrated with salt. Fresh water tends to pull my contacts off when I take a face plant wakeboarding, but I have never lost a pair of contacts surfing. Close your eyes while under water, and as soon as you come up, you can open your eyes almost immediately. The salt water does not displace the contacts on my eyes when I surf. Try it. You will enjoy being able to see the swells coming and it will improve your ability to catch more waves. Good luck
I should point out that I wear soft contact lenses, hard contacts would not work. Also, I'm as blind as a door knob, but it doesn't stop me form surfing.

Take off your glasses while surfing...that's what I do... and as for opening your eyes underwater, you get used to it after sometime....no tips for that. Only thing you should do is wash your eyes with clean water after time at the pool or at sea

i have a friend that is blind without his contacts. his biggest complaint is he has to close his eyes in most barrels. you dont really need to open ur eyes underwater though. it just is a nice luxury.

specific. I placed on the two glasses & gentle contacts(not on the comparable time needless to say lol) yet i admire my look in the two! presently I even have on my cord physique ones that dont have any physique on the backside of the lenses, very modern & state-of-the-paintings & my different specs are a gloomy blue kida oblong thicker plastic physique, rather heat!!!
