How it works

... Sharks ... have a contrast enhancing mechanism in their visual system which enables them to see farther underwater than we can. The trade off however, is that a high contrast black and white pattern may appear to them as disconnected objects against a contrasting background ...more from Marine Biologist Walter Stark

Sharkcamo  Testimonials

“Sharkcamo is working for me. I enjoy the added confidence present with the
thought of a shark deterring pattern on my board. I have seen no sharks
since the application of the decal on my board. This is unusual for my
regular break”.
- Jay Dimartino, About.com - Sebastion, FL

“We have sharks harass us all the time while surfing in Brasil. I have had
Sharkcamo on all of my boards for the past 3 years. Sharks have been no
problem since.”
- Gabriella Hoffman - Recife, Brasil

“I just got back from Indo and Western Australia. We saw many sharks, but
none ever approached us or threatened us during the entire trip.”
- Mike Enloe, Virgin Islands
     

 

 
 


“We always see sharks in the line-up. My son had me buy the Sharkcamo decal
for his board and he did not encounter any more close calls. I have since
then purchased the decals for the rest of my family.”
- Ron Jacobs - Cocoa Beach, FL


“I applied the decal prior to surfing an extremely sharky secret break just
recently. After an hour or so of epic surf, in between breaks came a huge
white shark. It went under our boards and kept on going. Coincidence...I
think not!”
- Jason Fleisher - Plettsburg, South Africa

“My first experience with Sharkcamo was at a secret break on a morning in
Hawaii. A 10 or 12 foot tiger shark came through and cleaned us all out
except for one guy who stayed out. We stayed out of the water for an hour
while this guy caught all the waves. He finally got out and we all noticed
the decal on his board. We asked about it and told us how it works. I now
have Sharkcamo on all of my boards and sell them in my shop.”
- Jack Scott - Hilo, Hawaii, Owner of a surf shop


“We were on vacation in Mexico, and ready to catch some waves, when we
noticed all the surfers standing on the beach. They had seen a shark in
the line-up. I sell Sharkcamo at the shop and had faith it would work.
Sure enough, in no time, other surfers came out and made sure to stay
close to my board.”
- Doug -Owner of a surf shop, Marin Co, CA

 “Sharks won't go near this pattern, plus it's a real confidence builder for
my sister.”
- Noah Hamilton - Kuai (Speaking about his sister, Bethany Hamilton, shark attack victim, now sharkcamo user).


“I've been using Sharkcamo for 5 years. I am confident it works. The
principles are based on Mother Nature and make complete sense to me.
Surfing is an interaction with the environment, and this is a natural way
to protect yourself from a shark attack.”
- Jim Marks - East Coast Surfer
