The world's first bodyboard with integrated magnetic shark deterrent technology. Not only does it help to keep you safe in the water, we also made sure that it shreds and stands up to abuse just like our surfboard lineup.
SHARKGUARD
Four epoxy coated specialized magnets are imbedded into the foam beneath the HDPE slick bottom of the board, projecting a magnetic field into the water around the board rider. This is a known and effective shark deterrent. The magnetic field overwhelms a shark's sensory electroreceptor system and causes discomfort in the animal. No harm is done to the shark. No batteries or recharging are required. Visit https://www./pages/sharkguard-bodyboard for more details, links to testing videos, peer reviewed scientific tests and more.
SEA-CAMO ZEBRA STRIPED BOTTOM
In addition to the patented SHARKGUARD technology, we add a visual deterrent to our boards as well. In 2013 a University of Western Australia neurobiologist conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks & presented their results in a Ted Talk. The patterns disperse the sharks ability to identify the item, and mimic non-food source items in their environment.
CONSTRUCTION
The Rock-It 42.5" SHARKGUARD bodyboard uses a cutting edge 3D lamination process in which the all layers of the board are compressed and sealed within the mold at the factory. This results in a near seamless finish between the slick bottom and top materials and a more durable final product. No harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins are used in the production process, and the board is manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater. All materials used are recyclable. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Care Tip: when not in the water, keep the soft-top out of direct sunlight.
