Shark Shield, the world’s only scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent, has today announced the launch of the highly anticipated Shark Shield FREEDOM Surf.

This morning we held a press event to launch the new and revolutionary product, a world first, in the heart of Bondi Beach at the Bondi Surf Bather’s Life Saving Club this morning. A big turn out, the event was attended by news crews, journalists and other media.

The all-new user installable, and transferable, surfboard shark deterrent was designed in partnership with 2 x World Surfing Champion Tom Carroll, and iconic surf hardware brand Ocean & Earth.

The new FREEDOM Surf features a removable power module housed in a custom designed Ocean & Earth tail pad kicker, which can easily be transferred from board to board. All surfers need to do is install the new Ocean & Earth tail pad/decal antenna on each board in their quiver. The new tail pad houses the removable power module and includes a sticker-thin, adhesive decal that’s simply applied to the underside of the board. Light in weight, the solution offers nearly zero drag so there is little to no impact on surfing performance.

Key features of the FREEDOM Surf:
– Technology scientifically proven to turn sharks away
– Removable power module housed in custom Ocean & Earth tail pad / decal antenna
– Near zero drag, sticker-thin adhesive decal antenna is only 500 microns thin
– Little to no impact on surfing performance with only 250gm located in the tail pad

– Affordable Ocean & Earth tail pads for all boards in the quiver
– Rechargeable 6 Hour lithium battery with LED indicator for power on/off and battery life
