Testimonials

By June 2008 there had been a number of shark sightings at our local `extremely remote` surf spot deep in the Transkei home land on the East Coast of South Africa. On a number of weekends prior to this, the guys had been `chased` out of the water by some very large `men in grey suites`. On this particular weekend the waves were exceptionally good. During my second surf, while surfing with Andre Malherbe, one of our top surfers in the country ( just the two of us out ). I had my well used trusty 7 hr Surf Unit...

Just some feedback from our weekend at Stilbaai.

We both surfed together on the Saturday late afternoon at Morris Point, conditions were actually ominous- or felt ominous…some surfers came out because they felt uneasy being alone in the water.

We paddled out and only turned our devices on once we got through the break – we were definitely aware of the Shark Shields- either through a consistent pulse or a light shock with take offs…this was at first something to get use to and also sometimes on the take offs a little disturbing – but peace of mind that the shield did...

October 2018: I think your product (FREEDOM+ Surf) is great, it makes me much safer in the sharky waters of south east Florida and it is very sharky. First rate customer service too. This company stands by their products.

I use an Ocean Guardian for peace of mind. I have a wife and two young kids and I want to come home every time after I’ve been in the water. Before I bought my Ocean Guardian, I was questioning continuing with my surfing.

Initially, I thought it felt heavy, but once I was in the water, I felt nothing. I can quite easily feel seaweed on my leg rope, but with the Ocean Guardian there was no noticeable drag either paddling or surfing.

The price of a Ocean Guardian for that peace of mind is totally worth it.

Having used the Shark Shield whilst surfing for some time now, my opinion on the unit is as follows.

Importantly, Shark Shield doesn’t impede on my surfing action.
The Shark Shield is portable and doesn’t make much longer to set up than attaching a normal leg rope to the board.
The Shark Shield is easily cleaned after a surf.
My family and wife never liked the idea of me surfing alone on the west coast before, but now they are all comfortable with it.
Mainly, the Shark Shield lets me feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m out surfing, especially since the shark sightings are becoming...

I used my Shark Shield SURF7 for the first time this weekend and loved it! I rode my 6’10 quad fish surfboard and didn’t even notice it was on the board. The media should be ashamed of themselves for spreading false propaganda about this device. I looked back as I was paddling as fast as I could and the electrode antenna was completely submerged at all times. The surfing conditions would have to be really terrible for it to be skipping around on the surface of the water. I was really relaxed in the line-up this weekend thanks to Shark...

Just returned from 10 days surfing at Point Sinclair using one of your units. I found it gave me much more confidence in the water and enabled me to relax and not spend all my time looking over my shoulder after 2 close encounters here last year. Only complaints being a fairly short legged person I found the unit to be a touch long on my lower leg and a touch restrictive when paddling and riding smaller waves [not often a problem at this spot].

I am all round won over by your product and noticed my mates though at first...

As a surfer you often have sharks in your mind, especially when entering certain spots. After surviving a shark attack, Ocean Guardian has given me the confidence to be in the water and I don’t have to worry thinking about sharks anymore. I even surf spots that I would not surf before for this reason. This is the only device that really works. Read about Fede’s amazing survival story here.

Ocean Guardian, Powered by Shark Shield Technology, gives me a lot more confidence, especially when surfing alone, or at a new spot. I find I still go out even when the risk factors are increased a bit…if there is a river mouth nearby, or if it is dusk. My surf buddy has just got one now too, after 6 months of surfing with me, because he doesn’t like the thought he is more attractive to shark when we go out.

The Ocean Guardian doesn’t affect my surfing. There are so many other factors that have more impact – the type of...
