Sharkbanz were born from of our unifying fear of shark attacks
For years, we sat on our surfboards in murky water, wondering what lurked below. We dove reefs and swam helplessly next to 10 foot Sand Tiger Sharks, hoping for the best. The ocean remains the last frontier on our planet, but we couldn’t believe that in the 21st century, no user-friendly solution existed to help ease our mind and offer protection. After a particularly spooky day of nervous laughter and conversations about the weather to avoid the pointy subject, my father and I decided to do something about it.
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.
