Is the sharkshield testing video to be believed?
Hard to say. I don't believe anything is 100%.

I'm not buying it to stop a 2k eater going after a surface prey from depth.

I think your much more likely to find yourself in the role of a first responder rather then the victim of a shark attack. Probably not a bad idea to have some level of preparedness and a game plan.
I am way more concerned with boat traffic and SWB than sharks when it comes to our sport.
Cool pic. Not sure of the origin.
We had a small (military?) helicopter try to chase a shark out of the surfzone this morning with its prop wash. I think they meant well but the helicopters maneuvers looked more dangerous then the GWS. I saw the shark in a wave face about an hour later and decided to call it a day.

With all due respect "those guys are tricking nuts!"
Just put a big cage around the stand up board photographers so we can see bars in the image.:rolleyes1::rolleyes1: the way people have been used to seeing GWS's the last 30 years.
As for the pier fisherman, just have them buy a fishing license if their over 16 and take away giant treble hooks and gaffs, more room for coke and french fry sales, maybe a Fleckin ''legal'' herb shop next store.:rolleyes1:

Yeah, the sharks are super sketchy and bat sh*t crazy. What really makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up is when someone paddles out next to me and says " OMG what a beautiful, peaceful morning...".:nono:
What about all of the videos on YouTube where people are hanging on to GWS fins hamming it up to the camera to dubstep music? That stuff seems so disrespectful and stupid. Anything for an awesome sponsorship from some snooty company that's gonna give you a bunch of stuff ya don't need I suppose. Someone's gonna get chomped in half eventually.
We lost another young father in my home town this weekend out doing what he loves - it's bloody hard to stomach people chasing them around with go pros at the moment :crazy:

Looks like one of our San Clemente local young ones, but a bite to the ankle could be a bleed out fast.

A kayak fisherman lost his foot and his life to a shark this morning off of Maui. Apparently was dangling his feet in the water and was bit.

Got chased out of the water this morning by an absolutely beautiful GWS. Just a little to big for my comfort level but the coloring was spectacular. Glad I was on a long board. Apparently there is a symposium next week with multiple agencies to address the shark situation. Not sure if its open to the public. Also some semi permanent warning signage going up after it gets legal clearance.
