Repel unwanted attention with a Modom shark leash

Sharks are, unfortunately, one of the biggest risks a surfer faces when they step into the water but what if that needn’t be the case? The Modom shark leash utilises the latest in shark deterring technology and is designed to minimise the risk of close encounters with creatures from the deep.

Sure, shark deterring technology has created some noise in the past but this time it’s different. The Modom shark leash utilises SharkBanz patented magnetised technology to disrupt the shark’s electrical senses and create an unpleasant sensation causing the shark to swim away. Weighing just 70 grams, the leash functions the same as any other leg rope and has been tested in the notoriously shark-infested waters of the Bahamas with some promising results. It’s even been spotted around the ankle of Kelly Slater and WSL Commissioner Kieren Perrow.

While nothing can completely eliminate the risk, the Modom shark leash is certainly a big step in the right direction. The best part is that there are no annoying batteries to charge or change, the Modom is always on and ready when you are. The leash retails at $249.95 and is available online at SurfStitch.
