I saw a father and his kids surfing all wearing them.

None of them were attacked but I think the magnetics just kept pushing the family apart (the last bit is a joke)

Saw this online the other day, I have seen a few people wearing them while kiting, Not knocking the technology but.... still cant believe it will deter an attack.

shark band on left hand - bite on right hand. clear evidence that it works :-)
sounds like he was unlucky as he landed right next to shark.

My missus gave me the exact same band and made me swear to wear it. It makes me feel a tad safer so why not? $100 is a small expense given the $$$ we spend on kites etc.

Nothing will stop a shark from eating you if it wants to though.

While some claim that electrically charged devices repel sharks, the shark experts seem to think otherwise. "Not only does the sound of some devices attract them, it may actually spook the sharks to the point of reaction," Burgess said. "Sharks can also sense electromagnetic fields."

Remember when peeps were shelling out 50 bucks for a balance band with some magic hologram on it?
