<p><br /><em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Blast From the Past- 2010 Winners</span></strong></em><br /><br />Congrats to Bill-He is the next winner of the Barz Optics Photo Competition. See him featured below wearing <a href="http://www.barzoptics.com/arfa-goggle-sunglasses">Barz ARFA Goggles</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Several years ago Bill lost both of his legs in a hang gliding accident. Based in Los Vegas,&nbsp;nothing gets in the way for Bill to still rock climb and kite board.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bill recently lost one of his artificial legs and his favourite pair of Barz Arfa Goggles to the bottom of a lake in a high speed stack while kite surfing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;"I'll make another leg, but the Barz goggles are one of the most important part of my equipment, (PERIOD). I get bad headaches when I board without them.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<em>You are a champ Bill!</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bill doing what he does best- Rock Climbing</p>
