Shark Shield Freedom+ surf bundle

How it Works

Sharks have short-range electrical receptors in their snouts used for finding food, Ocean Guardian’s government approved, and patented technology creates a powerful three-dimensional electrical field which causes safe but unbearable spasms in these sensitive receptors turning sharks away, including Great Whites. 

With the FREEDOM+ Surf, this electrical field is created by a sticker thin adhesive Decal Antenna on the underside of your board – powered by a Transferable Power Module that sits neatly in the kicker of the Ocean & Earth custom designed Tail Pad. It provides powerful protection – even Great Whites will give you a wide berth.
