FREEDOM+ Surf Mini / Shortboard (Bundle)

For surfboards under 6’6″. New design and colour.

When used on shorter boards (boards <5’10”) and boards with less volume, the electrical field produced by the regular FREEDOM+ Surf Antenna 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 this ‘Mini’ version of the FREEDOM+ Surf Tail Pad / Antenna that features a shorter Antenna and smaller Electrodes.

The shorter antenna and smaller electrodes in the FREEDOM+ Surf Tail Pad / Antenna – Mini / Shortboard, produce a smaller electrical field than the regular FREEDOM+ Surf Tail Pad / Antenna, which means you’re much less likely to feel it when using the product on a shorter board, or board with less volume.

On the flip-side, a smaller electrical field does mean that a shark can come closer (compared to the regular FREEDOM+ Surf Tail Pad / Antenna) before sensing the electrical field and being deterred.

Click on the product images to see the difference between the size of the electrical field generated by both products.

NOTE: The same FREEDOM+ Surf Power Module can be used on both the regular Tail Pad / Antenna and the Mini / Shortboard version. There is no new Power Module for the Tail Pad / Antenna – Mini / Shortboard.

The FREEDOM+ Surf comes with everything you need to turn your surfboard into an electrical shark deterrent. It includes one Transferable Power Module, a Charging Dock with international options, and one Tail Pad / Decal Antenna ready to install on your surfboard.

If you would like to kit out additional surfboards with the FREEDOM+ Surf, simply purchase a normal size Tail Pad / Decal Antenna or the Mini Antenna / Decal by itself for each additional board you’d like to use. You only need the one Transferable Power Module as you simply move this between tail pads.

Specifications 

WARNING: We encourage people to wear Shark Shield when working in or enjoying the sea to minimize the risk of shark attack but sharks can be dangerous and often unpredictable creatures. While extensive testing has been done and great care is taken to develop and manufacture the Shark Shield range of products, it is impossible to guarantee that all sharks will be deterred under all circumstances. Water-based activities in the presence of sharks are inherently dangerous and are not recommended therefore we recommend that if a shark is sighted that the user leaves the water.

A large pulsing current is emitted from the Shark Shield antenna to produce the protective electric field. When unintentionally coming near or in contact with the antenna it is possible that muscle spasms can occur to various degrees and therefore the user may need to make adjustments to limit contact (for more information refer to FAQ's "will I get an electric shock"). In addition, anyone with a pacemaker, are pregnant, or has a health condition that could be affected by the electric field should not use the device. Such health conditions include heart disease, a history of heart problems, peripheral vascular decease, stroke, a history of fainting or epilepsy, or lung disease.
