i just recently got contacts this winter, and was wondering if anyone boards with them in. would they fall off when you crash? if anyone wears them let me know what you do

Hey John,

Certainly! Its okay to use contacts while boarding. Just make sure they are soft lenses and are disposable lenses.

I find the one-day disposable lenses (Ciba Focus Dailies) to be the better option. If you do loose a lens just open the next one.

BTW: I am yet to loose a lens while boarding and I have had serious wipeouts

Make sure you bring a spare set just in case. I was like Kaydee and never lost one until that perfect glass day. First run and I managed to loose a contact. I can't see without them, and wearing just one throws off all depth perception.
