Chris Hemsworth along with Professor Charlie Huveneers showcased the FREEDOM+ Surf electronic shark deterrent for surfing when looking at ways humans and sharks can coexist harmoniously.
The show features some incredible test footage by Professor Huveneers and his Flinders University colleagues, of the FREEDOM+ Surf deterring huge White Sharks off the coast of South Australian.
In the extreme testing environment with chummed and baited waters, the FREEDOM+ Surf was successful in deterring sharks 60% of the time, including sharks coming up from below at speed. To quote Chris Hemsworth "if the 8 people killed by sharks in Australia in 2020 had been using an electronic deterrent like this, then 5 may still be alive."
It was a huge honour to have our Shark Shield technology featured in such a prominent show!The Ocean Guardian LR1000Ocean Guardian - Shark Shield Technology2020-11-17 | The Ocean Guardian LR1000 is powered by Shark Shield Technology, the world’s only scientifically proven electrical shark deterrent technology, supported by peer reviewed published research, and successful in deterring Great Whites, Tiger, Bull, and other predatory sharks. The technology is so effective that the government of Western Australia has approved Ocean Guardian personal devices for consumer rebates. Nothing is more effective.
The LR1000 is the most advanced shark barrier technology in the world. By combining the proven strength of Shark Shield Technology with known offshore marine heavy-duty cabling and anchoring systems, the LR1000 has been designed to withstand the harshest ocean conditions. Simplicity in design ensures our solution is strong and durable, with a low total cost of ownership to implement and maintain.
A modern and scientifically proven shark mitigation method with no impact on marine life, the LR1000 can be used to create a shark free zone at private resort beaches, council beaches and even designated diving and snorkelling locations in coral reef systems such as the Great Barrier Reef. The long-term goal of the LR1000 is to replace harmful shark nets and drumlines.
Each installation will be tailored to the unique environment, with a typical installation of hundreds of metres long and up to a maximum length of around 1000m (0.62mi) with a maximum depth of 12m (39’).

FREEDOM+ Surf – SHORTBOARD vs FREEDOM+ Surf
When used on shorter boards (boards under 6’6”) and boards with less volume, the electrical field produced by the FREEDOM+ Surf can ‘travel’ around the board making it uncomfortable for some surfers – e.g. you might feel the electrical field on your fingers whilst duck-diving.
To overcome this, we’ve designed the FREEDOM+ Surf – SHORTBOARD that features a shorter Antenna and smaller Electrodes to produce a smaller electrical field that you’re less likely to feel when using the product on a board under 6’6”.
For boards 6’6” and over, we recommend using the FREEDOM+ Surf.eSPEAR The Worlds First Hand Held Electrical Shark DeterrentOcean Guardian - Shark Shield Technology2020-04-08 | POWERED BY SHARK SHIELD TECHNOLOGY, THE OCEAN GUARDIAN ESPEAR IS PERFECT FOR DIVING, SNORKELLING AND SPEARFISHING:

The research resulted in 297 successful trials undertaken at the Neptune Islands South Australia. During these trials, 44 different white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) interacted with bait and undertook 1,413 passes of the test board(s). The FREEDOM+ Surf significantly affected shark behaviour by reducing the percentage of bait taken from 96% (for the control board) to 40% with sharks remaining further away from the bait when the FREEDOM+ Surf was active.
The other deterrents tested included Rpela, SharkBanz bracelet, SharkBanz surf leash, and Chillax Wax which failed having limited to no effects on deterring white sharks.Anthony Walsh & Kane Overall - FREEDOM+ - Remote South AustraliaOcean Guardian - Shark Shield Technology2018-05-15 | International surfing professional and leading YouTube contributor Anthony Walsh takes the FREEDOM+ Surf for some barrels in a very remote sharky location in outback South AustraliaAnthony Walsh - FREEDOM+ Surf - Ballina Sharps BeachOcean Guardian - Shark Shield Technology2018-05-12 | International surfing professional and leading YouTube contributor Anthony Walsh takes the FREEDOM+ Surf for a fun paddle at his old stomping grounds in Ballina.Elyse Frankcom - Shark Attack Survivor - Testimonial May 2014Ocean Guardian - Shark Shield Technology2018-05-12 | Shark attack survivor Elyse Frankcom, who opposes the Western Australian catch-and-kill policy, endorses Shark Shield, which she credits with saving her life.
Ms Frankcom believes that is what made a great white shark swim away after it bit into her legs while she was diving near Rockingham, south of Perth, in November 2010.
Elyse did not have her unit turned on while free diving with dolphins and was attacked by a 3 metre Great White Shark! Her first reaction was to punch and then try pushing the shark away while a very brave passenger pulled the tail! She remembered her Ocean Guardian wasn’t on so immediately turned it on and the shark dropped her and swam away as quick as it came!
"I believe that if I didn’t turn the Ocean Guardian on, I would not be alive today! The Ocean Guardian saved my life as well as everyone around me in the water. Never again will I enter the water without my unit turned on!"
"Once the Shark Shield was turned on, the shark had left the area, despite blood being in the water, despite an attack already," she said.Ocean Guardian FREEDOM+ Surf TestimonialsOcean Guardian - Shark Shield Technology2018-05-12 | We visited the Ballina / Lennox Head surf region to talk with surfers using our new FREEDOM+ Surf to understand how the new technology was impacting their lives and what it meant to get back to surfing and enjoying the ocean with confidence.
