Shark Shield Presentation at Kayak Connection-Moss Landing 3/26 @ 6:30PM

Hey All,

The good folks from SharkShield are going to be in town giving a presentation next Thursday in our Moss Landing location, March 26, at 6:30.

Shark Shield uses a low frequency, close range electrical field to deter sharks.  Seeing as how we’re out there in the thick of it every day and draped in fish guts, I thought it might be of interest.  What do you think?

We're hosting the event at the Elkhorn Yacht Club, right beside the shop, so we’ll have plenty of space for up to 150 people and lots of room to spread out and swap stories.  It’s also centrally located between Santa Cruz and Monterey so that should help attendance.  Shark Shield will also have special pricing at the event, and they're springing for beer and pizza!

Please rsvp to me at dave.kayakconnection@gmail.com so we can plan beer and pizza numbers.  Thanks!

According to this link these things actually work.

Cool.

I thought some dude was already hit wearing these...

Someone say Beer?

I thought some dude was already hit wearing these...

People still die with seatbelts on sometimes. Doesn't mean seat belts don't work.

Will definitely try and make it!

Marking it on the calendar now.

Seat belts don't cost an extra $600 and an auto accident is a taaaad bit more common than a shark attack. Oh uh, and they've been proven on many, many levels of various tests. I am not convinced that the shark shield is even going to help stop a white, but if you are go for it...

Did you read any of the Australian study?  What part were you unimpressed with?  It did conclude with saying more study is warranted but the results were impressive on the pinniped decoy study, which is the one I'm sure everyone here cares about.

And seat belts for my pickup run $400, it's not like they are free or anything. My point being that just because a shark might have hit someone using a shark shield doesn't mean that shark shields don't deter sharks. In much the same way that seatbelts deter Death, although he may still come calling.

Right on Dave! Always been curious about the shark shield.

I don't know about yours, but my wetsuit didn't come with a shark shield. My vehicle however did, I didn't have to spend hundreds extra on it.

For me, with any type of hunting, part of the thrill and enjoyment is being in nature, with the flow of the food chain. If I could spend hundreds on a magic electrical device that stopped mountain lions, rattlesnakes, and any other "dangerous" animal from attacking me, I wouldn't... Not on land, not on water. So regardless of it's possible deterrence, there's that.

If a white is can swim at around 25mph and is hunting on sight, how is something that they can only sense within 3 feet going to stop it? If i'm within 3 feet of a shark and it's not chomping me already, I don't think it's going to.

Personal opinion and preference, didn't mean it to come off as rude or confrontational, just not for me.
