✓ The world’s most scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent. Nothing is more effective.
✓ Designed in partnership with Tom Carroll and Ocean & Earth
✓ Creates a powerful electrical field that turns sharks away. Electrical field approx. 4m (13.12ft) long x 3.5m (11.48ft) deep.
✓ Proven to deter Great Whites, Tiger Sharks and Bull Sharks.
✓ Easy to install yourself on old or new boards. No need to involve a shaper.
✓ Sticker-thin (≤ 500 microns) adhesive antenna adheres to the underside of your board and connects to the Tail Pad. No impact on surfing performance.
✓ Transferable Power Module can be removed for charging and used on any board fitted with the custom designed Tail Pad / Decal Antenna or Tail Pad / Antenna - SHORTBOARD
✓ Transferable Power Module features a long-life 6-hour rechargeable lithium battery, and LED power on/off and battery life indicator. Allows you to have a couple of surfs on the one charge.
✓ A foam insert (included) can be used in the Tail Pad kicker for those surfs when you don’t want to use the Transferable Power Module.

Comes with: Powered by Shark Shield Technology, this smart piece of high-tech kit comes with one Transferable Power Module, a Charging Dock with international options, and one Tail Pad / Antenna ready to install on your surfboard. You only ever need one Power Module, so if you have multiple boards – simply buy an extra Tail Pad / Decal Antenna (one per board) and you’re sorted.
SIZING
Fiberglass surfboards 6'6" and over: If used on a smaller board, the electrical field may be felt on your fingertips when duck diving. The oblong shaped electrodes measure 5.3cm (2.08") wide x 24cm (9.44") long and are spaced approximately 70cm (27.56") apart.
Fiberglass surfboards under 6'6": Features a shorter antenna with smaller electrodes to produce a smaller electrical field than the regular FREEDOM+ Surf. This means you're much less likely to feel it when using the product on a shorter board or board with less volume. The protective field of around 2.5m long x 0.5m deep is smaller than the regular FREEDOM+ Surf but the power output is exactly the same which means it packs just as much punch! The oblong shaped electrodes measure 2cm (0.78") wide x 10cm (3.93") long and are spaced approximately 36cm (14.17") apart.
ABOUT Shark Shield
Ocean Guardian (Shark Shield Pty Ltd) is the world’s leading shark deterrent technology company.

Independently proven and tested, Ocean Guardian’s Shark Shield Technology is backed by multiple peer-reviewed published research papers. Successful in deterring Great Whites, the technology is so powerful that government has approved devices for consumer rebates. Nothing is more effective.
Sharks have short-range electrical receptors in their snouts used for finding food. Shark Shield Technology is used to create a powerful three-dimensional electrical field which causes spasms in these sensitive receptors turning sharks away. There are no known harmful effects on sharks or humans.
