Watersports Eyewear: Why Your Next Pair of “Goggles” Shouldn’t Be Goggles at All
What Do You Call the Goggles You Wear on a Jet Ski?
That question reveals the biggest gap in watersports. You're flying across waves, crushing surf, or powering through pools—yet you're still stuck with outdated eyewear designed for indoor laps. That's a problem. And that's why ÆRA was born.
Discover ÆRA EyewearThe Watersports Revolution is Here
The aquatic sports industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. Jet skiing revenues have surged 23% year-over-year. Wakesurfing participation has doubled since 2020. SUP has become a $1.2 billion global market. Wild swimming and hydrofitness are reshaping how we think about water-based exercise.
The Problem: While watersports have evolved dramatically, eyewear technology has remained stagnant. Athletes are forced to choose between pool goggles that fog and leak, or sunglasses that fall off and provide zero splash protection.
Introducing: Watersports Eyewear
ÆRA has created an entirely new category that transcends traditional boundaries. Watersports eyewear combines the protective seal and clarity of competitive swim goggles with the panoramic vision, comfort, and aesthetic sophistication of premium sport sunglasses.
What Makes Watersports Eyewear Different
Watersports eyewear blends the protective seal of swim goggles with the panoramic vision, comfort, and design-forward style of sport sunglasses or snow goggles. It's engineered specifically for the modern watersports lifestyle—from high-speed jet skiing to meditative paddle sessions.
