The Sharks bounce off the current and away from you. For some reason, Nurse sharks are immune from the S Shield, but I can deal with that They run between $600-$900, but money well spent. Just make sure you dont hit anyone beneath you with it, Ive come up under one and got a pretty decent shock to my head! And altought it hasnt happened to me "yet", like Rob said, there are no guarantees a Shark will not pierce the Shield..... Spearit
