Kurtis USA ~ Story of Kurtis

Using Southern California Business to Business directories and contacting plastic and machine shops soon led to better and better prototypes.

I then began to host focus groups in California and Hawaii where I was able to further improve both style and function. After several years spent on R&D, lawyers and patents I finally came up with a design that agreed with my original dream. Today, Kurtis USA goggles are made of the finest materials and hand crafted in the USA.
I hope you will enjoy Kurtis USA products and more importantly I hope you will continue to do something to preserve the sport of surfing as well. If we don’t look out for each other, shoe companies in Oregon and motorcycle companies with big wallets will run the surf industry. Keep it at the beach.

Kurtis

Kurtis USA was born and will live forever at the beach. My Surf Goggles were developed out of necessity, as I was tired of getting my eyes fried every surf session. The idea for the “Duke” hit me while surfing a decent rippable day at Huntington. It was a glass off session and the glare from the sun was brutal. I was used to wearing sunglasses out of the water, but I knew they wouldn’t work in the water. I began to think of what would work, but nothing short of making you look like a kook was available. Taking the idea from that session I began to break apart old goggles, sun glasses and wetsuits and with a blow dryer, glue and a hot iron I developed the first pair of functional surf goggles in my parents garage (that pair is still better then some being sold on the market today).
