Quiksilver Polarized Sunglasses Built for the Water
The Wind Wave frames the world in oversized, boardrider-ready style without asking you to compromise on optics. Polarized lenses cut the glare bouncing off water, pavement, and sand so you see clearly whether you are paddling out, driving to the break, or walking the boardwalk. The acetate frame delivers the kind of substance you feel the moment you pick them up: rigid enough to hold its shape through a full beach session, smooth enough to wear all day without fatigue.
Acetate Construction and Fit
Quiksilver chose acetate for the Wind Wave because it offers a richer finish and better durability than injected plastic. The oversized square silhouette provides generous coverage without the bulk of a sport wrap, making it equally at home on a surf trip or a weekend out. Moulded nose pads distribute weight evenly across the bridge and keep the frame from sliding when things get sweaty. The temples are finished with Quiksilver brand detail and sized at 13.5 cm for a secure, comfortable fit across a wide range of face shapes.
Polarized Lens Performance
Polarization blocks horizontally reflected light, the kind that produces blinding glare off flat water or wet roads. The Wind Wave lenses are built with polarized film integrated into the lens stack, not a surface coating that wears off. Lens width of 6.4 cm provides enough coverage to block peripheral glare as well, which matters when you are on the water and the sun is low on the horizon.
What Is Included
Every pair of Quiksilver Wind Wave Polarized Sunglasses ships with a branded pouch for protection when the glasses are not in use. The pouch doubles as a soft cleaning cloth, keeping the polarized lenses free of smudges between sessions.
Quiksilver and Boardriding Culture
Quiksilver was built around the belief that boardriding is a universal source of fun, freedom, and energy that changes lives. That philosophy runs from the mountain to the wave to the streets, and it shows in product decisions like choosing acetate over cheaper plastics and investing in real polarized optics at an accessible price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Quiksilver Wind Wave sunglasses actually polarized?
- Yes. The Wind Wave features genuine polarized lenses that filter horizontally reflected glare from water, roads, and other flat surfaces. The polarization is integrated into the lens construction, not a surface treatment.
- What is the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses?
- Polarized lenses contain a filter that blocks reflected glare, which is the type of intense light that bounces off flat surfaces like water, wet pavement, and car hoods. Non-polarized lenses reduce overall brightness but do not eliminate that specific reflected glare. For water sports and driving, polarized lenses offer meaningfully clearer vision.
- Are Quiksilver sunglasses good quality?
- The Wind Wave uses acetate frames, which are a step above standard injected plastic in rigidity and finish quality. Moulded nose pads and integrated polarized lenses point to a genuine performance-focused build at an accessible price point.
- How do I clean polarized lenses?
- Use the branded pouch included with the Wind Wave as a soft lens cloth. For heavier smudges, rinse with fresh water and dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels and clothing fabric, which can scratch lens coatings over time.
- Can I wear the Wind Wave for surfing or water sports?
- The Wind Wave is designed for boardriders and handles beach and water environments well. The polarized lenses reduce water glare, and the acetate frame is solid enough for active outdoor use. They are not a sealed goggle, so submersion is not recommended, but they hold up to typical surf session conditions.
- What does the Wind Wave come with?
- Each pair includes a Quiksilver branded pouch that protects the lenses during transport and doubles as a soft cleaning cloth.
- Where can I buy Quiksilver Wind Wave Polarized Sunglasses?
- The Wind Wave is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. Island Water Sports is South Florida's source for surf and water sports gear including Quiksilver eyewear.
