    Better stick on a life-size decal in image of old, weak, and slow seal heading for the beach. That'll derail em.

    how can they prove that this technology works at all? I am heading to a pretty sharky place so looked into this but it just seems like no evidence and something easy to sell. they say it has something to do with the sharks eyesight and confuses them but then again there is no proof. anyone heard anything about this product?

    theory is zebras, with their wild and crazy fur pattern, are just gnarly and everything except lions are afraid of them...so you could also draw a lion on the bottom of your board and be fine (and, apparently, I'm just about as full of sh!t as the sticker's inventor)

    but, seriously, research has shown sharks are attracted to thrashing water sounds and bright colors, like yellow, etc (don't remember were I read that)...there is no research supporting the zebra theory, so it's a gimmick that people with too much money accept as valid

    I've contemplated getting mimic eyes tattoed on my calves.

    I wonder if this would work painted on the bottom of your board? Or you could paint the message: Mess with me and I'll cut off your fin!

    I think i read somewhere ..it's based on the stripes
    Of lionfish,stonefish,turkeryfish...I can never tell them apart...
    Very toxic..and the sea snake..
    But usually they get swallowed..and spit out..
    So I dunno if that would their slogan..
    Don't worry ..they won't eat ya...just chomp ya, and spit you out..
    Whew ..feel better already

    Lion fish and turkey fish are the same thing. Stone fish are different

    Forget stickers

    The best shark deterrent would be a black ski mask. Any shark encountered would be like "YO! That's Shart-Huffer, the apex predator up in this b!tch!" Then the shark would scamper off in fear of either those gnarly teeth or the possibility of a sponge off.

    A zebra is like a crazy looking donkey on steroids. They will wile-out and kill a fool that messes with them, donkey kick to da grill. Sharks don't mess with the zebra.

    Do you get your money back if you get ate? I'm kind of jealous I didn't think of this scam. Imagine, walking down the beach at NSB, bullhorn in hand, wearing a black ski mask (good one Valhalla!) "get your shark repellant bit(hes!"
