My girlfriend was asking me about Sharkbanz, first I heard of it. You guys know anything about this? http://www.sharkbanz.com/home
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!! Wow, the crap you can fall for if it is "online" is just hilarious. Betty, truth be told--tell your friend to skip it. No matter what anyone tells you, it has no value at all. Junk. Thanks for the laugh- your post made my day. What is next?/ Asteroid deflector watch?? Gamma ray abolisher pendant?? Aids-be gone??
Hmmm...the technology and concept has been tested and seen as reliable in test cases. From what I understand the issue is the ceramic vs. rare earth magnets... Although this particular product may not tickle your fancy...as a research area...it does have some limited credibility. If I was living in any red triangle area...I wiukd consider purchasing one. As well, I would do a bit more research on it...rather than immediately calling it some sort of snake oil.
I have a domesticated Great White...bring him with me every time I paddle out. He Focks up all other predators that may be lurking under his owner. The only downside is lugging his ft 3000lb ass from the water to the back of the truck over the sand. I'd be much happier if someone invented some sort of cart to help me with my real problem.
Barry Cuda is focking up the line up. Bwahahaha. An asteroid deflector would be cool, can that be board mounted like a go pro?
yes. doug has one. and barry - you can't say with absolute surety sharkbanz don't work. what is needed is a controlled experiment... we could go to tallows beach; 2 attacks last 24 hrs; 1 fatal. i spent about 8 months in OZ; i saw a huge whale shark on phillip island but the only real sharks i saw were at tallows. we could test it there. (btw tallows is also called ballina and byron bay)....
"There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity, so don’t cross it and provoke a shark by attempting to test this technology yourself. They are wild animals and don’t take kindly to people with bad manners. Respect the animals and they will respect you." Quoted from sharkbanz website (emphasis me) I just saved everyone $59. My paypal accepts beer money. Thanks in advance
LOL^. It looks like the magnet has SOME effect on sharks. Which is a lot more than having nothing. Could give peace of mind to people who are paranoid out on the water. I'm not hating on it
And.....until such time as the "controlled experiment" is finished and subject to peer review....save your money, unless of course, one finds it irresistibly fashionable, and you just have to be, you just have to be..... a "fashionista"!! Oh, it is all the rage!!!
But, but, but....it is sooo fashionable!! You will be the center of attention at the luau with all the wahines!! Tell them how you "ward off' sharks with your secret decoder wrist band!!!
