Gain peace of mind in the surf with a no batteries, no charging, one-size-fits-all solution!

A minimalist, good looking deterrent that helps give protection in the water while being harmless to sharks - seems win win! And it's also recommended and already used by people like Big Wave Surfer Mark Mathews (see below). Cleverly designed to reduce your chances of being on the menu, they can never of course reduce the risk completely. Check the vids below and make up your own mind!

If you're surfing in sharky waters and reckon it'd reduce your anxiety (or your Mum's!), find out more at the Sharkbans website here.
