"When you're surfing those [remote] locations, there's always that thought of sharks in the back of your head. Any tool that can help prevent the threat and give you that peace of mind when you're surfing somewhere isolated, is a massive bonus for any surfer."
THE LEADING SHARK DETERRENT TECHNOLOGY
ACTIVE SHARK AND RAY DETERRENT FIELD
Sharks use electroreception (sensitivity to electric fields) to hunt and navigate. Our tech's patented deterrent field is exponentially greater than any electric field an elasmobranch species (sharks, rays) would naturally encounter. Marine biologists compare this deterrent sensation a shark feels to a "bright light" suddenly shining in your eyes when in a dark room.
RESEARCHED, TESTED, AND VERIFIED
Sharkbanz products are the embodiment of almost two decades worth of peer-reviewed scientific research on the use of magnetic technology as an active and effective shark deterrent. Our products have been independently reviewed and verified by university and government groups for their effectiveness. Premium materials and manufacturing ensure product durability and performance.
TRUSTED BY ATHLETES, FAMILIES, AND FISHERMEN
Since 2014, we've equipped over 100,000 people around the world with our deterrent products. Customers trust our technology because the science is real and so are the benefits for safety and peace of mind. Whether surfing your home break or venturing somewhere off the beaten path, we want you to have the most carefree time in the water.
DISCLAIMER:
All Sharkbanz users should be aware that sharks and rays are wild animals and unpredictable. Our patented technology has been extensively tested, researched, and proven as an effective shark deterrent, but Sharkbanz have not been tested on all species of sharks or rays. Sharkbanz can reduce the risk of shark and ray interactions, but there is no 100% guarantee that interactions will not take place. There should never be any attempt to entice sharks or rays to interact with humans, with or without Sharkbanz. Any human activity in the water near sharks or rays must always be considered as possessing a considerable degree of risk which is assumed solely by the wearer.
Sharkbanz are a defense against the most common type of dangerous shark interaction: ‘hit and run’ attacks/bites. These are investigative, unprovoked incidents. Much like other safety devices, such as a bike lights, Sharkbanz can reduce the risk - they do not eliminate the risk altogether.
User acknowledges that Sharkbanz are a deterrent to shark and ray interactions and that there is NO GUARANTEE of zero shark or ray interactions. User assumes all risk. User holds FCS and Mano LLC (Sharkbanz) and all its subsidiaries, affiliates and partners, harmless from all claims of injury or damage of any kind, be it personal or property.
