In clear water, the sticker and the suit work with abalone divers.

But ya gotta take it with a grain of salt.

This must be why you never see sharks in Aspen forests, too many eyes.
It takes a quiver to do that.

Except for the rare elusive camera shy Sasquatch.

Or is that the Big- Foote?

The even rarely seen Land Shark!

has anyone here can tell us that this sticker actually work? A video evidence would be a good start.

I got some Shark Eyes about a year ago and have them on a couple boards. I regularly surf a known sharky break and still see them breach offshore but have not seen one cruise under my board as I had a few times a year in the past. Could be the sharks, could be me, who knows. I dig them though & think they look cool.

I first made the eyes but then thought, hmmm maybe that will make them attack,
so I added the teeth.

There is a guy here in Cocoa Beach with shark teeth marks on his fuselage. So they do bite foils.

My friend and I bought some and put them on our boards up in the CA central coast reported to be GW area.   Two yrs running no hits yet and we haven't seen any latlely   We liked them so much I  fired up the artist skills " mostly non skills" and painted them on my other boards.   Seems to make beach goers smile as well, jury is out on prone surfers yet !   

Paddle on !

Got them on a longboard too and often sit way outside and stand up between sets and look around and not one sighting since using the 👀.

Just as effective as a Shark Banz--maybe more.

Right on PB!  If Shark Banz were really effective why would there be a need for (the "more powerful") Shark Banz 2? ;D

Somebody needs to prove it.  Tow a dead chicken behind your board with eyes on it, anybody?

we really need a video evidence with shark eyes.
I see lots of reading info about it, talks of crazy big wave surfing and that's it.
I wear shark Sharkbanz and hope they work according to their video?

I wouldn't trust a set of "painted eyes" on a board to protect me from a hungry shark like I wouldn't trust Sharkbanz to protect me when a shark is in hunting mode for food.

As for Sharkbanz, take a look at the video below showing what happens when a shark comes along and is "really" hungry with Sharkbanz very close by.....like a few inches away.

Thank goodness I was NOT wearing that accessory.

I had a very long and productive conversation with the Marine Biologist who measured my board and came up with the correct estimated size.

Any devices that are attempting to disrupt the sharks electrical sensors will be ineffective vat best as they are only used at the end of an attack.

There is a vid somewhere with abalone divers, the eyes, and the striped suit.

Lotta variables. If you are under water, tropical clear water of course, wearing the striped suit, and have eyes on your abalone basket; you're much better off.

Only underwater SUP experience for me is WIPEOUT,  rag doll, etc. etc. Never with an abalone basket.
