Rosenberg's Celebrate Kaenon Sunglasses 10th Anniversary!

Steve Rosenberg- co-founder Kaenon Sunglasses- interview* Friends of the J/Family, brothers Steve and Darren Rosenberg, co-founded Kaenon Polarized Sunglasses a decade ago in 2001.  WOW! This past week they celebrated Kaenon's 10th Anniversary in a very big way with their 11-11-11 Blowout Celebration Promotion.  Said Steve, "I cannot believe it.  We were crushed all day long.  Our servers crashed five times taking in orders.  We're swamped. But, that's a good thing, eh?"  Their success creating better sunglasses started with their own frustrations with sunglasses that didn't work well on the water racing 470s.  Both the Editor and his brother Drake sailed 470s back in the day against the Rosenberg's, having a blast racing against one another and becoming quick friends on the 470 circuit.  Steve and Darren were not just great sailors, they're fun, super-nice guys, to boot.  So, it's not surprising these two enterprising sailors decided to change our collective exasperation with sunglasses that sometimes worked, sometimes didn't and oftentimes broke!  So, Kaenon Polarized was born.  Thank Goodness!  Speaking on behalf of thousands of sailors and other outdoor enthusiasts, these glasses are a "God-send".  They work!  As I described to "Rosie", my latest Burnet C12 Rx glasses were like "putting on HD color TV, the colors simply exploded, and I could literally pick out gradations of wind pressure on the water few others could see".
