SHARKGUARD

Four epoxy coated specialized magnets are imbedded into the foam beneath the HDPE slick bottom of the board, projecting a magnetic field into the water around the board rider.  This is a known and effective shark deterrent.  The magnetic field overwhelms a shark's sensory electroreceptor system and causes discomfort in the animal.  No harm is done to the shark.  No batteries or recharging are required.

SEA-CAMO ZEBRA STRIPED BOTTOM

In addition to the patented SHARKGUARD technology, we add a visual deterrent to our boards as well. In 2013 a University of Western Australia neurobiologist conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks & presented their results in a Ted Talk. The patterns disperse the shark’s ability to identify the item, and mimic non-food source items in their environment. 

CONSTRUCTION

The Rock-It 42.5" SHARKGUARD bodyboard uses a cutting edge 3D lamination process in which the all layers of the board are compressed and sealed within the mold at the factory.  This results in a near seamless finish between the slick bottom and top materials and a more durable final product. No harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins are used in the production process, and the board is manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater. All materials used are recyclable. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.


Please note that we do not guarantee SHARKGUARD works equally across all shark species and that all interactions with sharks will be avoided. Read all disclosures below.

 

SharkGuard Reduces Risk But Does Not Eliminate It

  • SharkGuard is a shark deterrent that helps reduce the risk of unwanted shark interactions, but we do not guarantee complete protection or prevention of all shark encounters. There is no guarantee of zero shark interactions with the device.
  • Ambush attacks from large predatory species will not be deterred by SharkGuard.

Magnetic Field & Medical Devices

  • Because SharkGuard uses strong magnets, people with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted medical devices should not attempt to handle or ride a board containing SharkGuard technology without consulting a doctor.
  • These magnets can also disrupt sensitive electronics (e.g., hard drives, credit cards, cell phones) if placed too close (recommended at least ~12 inches/30 cm away).

 
Care Tip: when not in the water, keep the soft-top out of direct sunlight.
