Ocean Guardian, Powered by Shark Shield Technology, gives me a lot more confidence, especially when surfing alone, or at a new spot. I find I still go out even when the risk factors are increased a bit…if there is a river mouth nearby, or if it is dusk. My surf buddy has just got one now too, after 6 months of surfing with me, because he doesn’t like the thought he is more attractive to shark when we go out.
The Ocean Guardian doesn’t affect my surfing. There are so many other factors that have more impact – the type of board I’m on, wave conditions, my own weight, level of fitness…all of these make a difference, whereas the Ocean Guardian is just a small extra weight on my board. I’m intermediate, so I can’t really tell the difference between having the Ocean Guardian and not.
