SharkBanz

Our mission is to develop simple, effective and affordable strategies to reduce the risk of a shark bite – providing peace of mind and protection to every beachgoer, swimmer and surfer around the world while also promoting marine conservation and education.

After three years of testing, design, development, head scratching, wiping-the-slate clean, more testing, and close encounters with our toothy amigos, we released the first version of Sharkbanz (V1) on January 1, 2015. Throughout the process, we were committed to four principles that make Sharkbanz Technology right for just about anyone: effective, simple, affordable, and stylish. These principles still guide our company values and product development today, which is why we believe whether you live by the ocean or only visit a few times a year, Sharkbanz are the solution for peace of mind in the seven seas.

Surfer’s Healing

Surfers healing was founded in California by professional surfer Israel “Izzy” Paskowitz for his son, Isaiah, who was diagnosed with Autism at age 3. Because Izzy discovered the positive impact that surfing had on his son, he shared this unique therapy with other children diagnosed with autism. Surfers Healing Camps are now hosted in Hawaii, California, Mexico, Puerto Rico and a few surf towns like Folly Beach, SC.

These camps enrich the lives of people living with autism by exposing them to the unique experience of surfing. Members of the international surfing community travel with the event and work one-on-one to coach children with autism to ride the waves.

Hammerhead Shark

This shark’s unusual name comes from the unusual shape of its head, an amazing piece of anatomy built to maximize the fish’s ability to find its favorite meal: stingrays.

A hammerhead shark uses its wide head to trap stingrays by pinning them to the seafloor. The shark’s eye placement, on each end of its very wide head, allows it to scan more area more quickly than other sharks can. The hammerhead also has special sensors across its head that helps it scan for food in the ocean. Living creatures’ bodies give off electrical signals, which are picked up by sensors on the prowling hammerhead. The shark hunts alone, and can find stingrays that hide under the sand on the seafloor. Hammerheads also eat bony fishes, crabs, squid, lobsters, and other sea creatures.

The upper sides of these fish are grayish-brown or olive-green and they have white bellies. They have very impressive triangular, serrated teeth—like the edge of a saw’s blade. The species favors coral reefs, which can supply food as well as shelter although, aside from humans, this impressively large denizen of the deep has few enemies.

Aggression by hammerheads against humans is uncommon, but not unknown. Swimmers, divers, surfers and other water enthusiasts should respect the space of this toothsome fish when it is nearby.
