    SHRD009-BSOF80-CBLU

    96 x 22.7 x 3.3" / 81 Liters

    The world's first surfboard with integrated magnetic shark deterrent technology.  Not only does it help to keep you safe in the water, it's the exact same proven top-selling 8' Big Softy shape and construction.

    • Patented SHARKGUARD Magnetic Shark Deterrent 
    • 3x fins included (performance fin box system)
    • UV resistant deck (wax not required)
    • For riders up to 225lbs
    • Rock-It Zebra Striped Sea Camo HDPE bottom slick

    The Rock-It BIG SOFTY with SHARKGUARD is designed to be the easiest board to surf on. Big (but not too big!), buoyant, easy to paddle & turn yet stable. Not to mention, it's proven shape (with a wide nose and tapered tail) absolutely shreds!  Perfect for beginners, all around family use, unpretentious surfing (while you catch all the waves...) or simple summer cruising!

    SHARKGUARD

    Six epoxy coated specialized magnets are imbedded into the foam beneath the HDPE slick bottom of the board, projecting a magnetic field into the water around the board rider.  This is a known and effective shark deterrent.  The magnetic field overwhelms a shark's sensory electroreceptor system and causes discomfort in the animal.  No harm is done to the shark.  No batteries or recharging are required. Visit https://www.rock-itsurf.com/pages/sharkguard-bodyboard for more details, links to testing videos, peer reviewed scientific tests and more.

    SEA-CAMO ZEBRA STRIPED BOTTOM

    In addition to the patented SHARKGUARD technology, we add a visual deterrent to our boards as well. In 2013 a University of Western Australia neurobiologist conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks & presented their results in a Ted Talk. The patterns disperse the shark’s ability to identify the item, and mimic non-food source items in their environment.

    CONSTRUCTION

    The Rock-It BIG SOFTY with SHARKGUARD is made with quality construction and environmentally sensitive processes. Three marine wooden stringers are coated with an epoxy nano-coating to resist water absorption, then surrounded with a proprietary EPS foam and a color-fast & UV resistant soft top layer. The soft top has a wide texture and doesn't require wax, although wax will improve grip.

    The entire board is heat laminated with no harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins in the production process, and manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater. All materials used are recyclable. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.

    Please note that we do not guarantee SHARKGUARD works equally across all shark species and that all interactions with sharks will be avoided. Read all disclosures below.

     

    SharkGuard Reduces Risk But Does Not Eliminate It

    • SharkGuard is a shark deterrent that helps reduce the risk of unwanted shark interactions, but we do not guarantee complete protection or prevention of all shark encounters. There is no guarantee of zero shark interactions with the device.
    • Ambush attacks from large predatory species will not be deterred by SharkGuard.

    Magnetic Field & Medical Devices

    • Because SharkGuard uses strong magnets, people with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted medical devices should not attempt to handle or ride a board containing SharkGuard technology without consulting a doctor.
    • These magnets can also disrupt sensitive electronics (e.g., hard drives, credit cards, cell phones) if placed too close (recommended at least ~12 inches/30 cm away).
