Re: Shark Shields
So did anyone from here win the auction. It reached $515.00 for the pair, still good value when they would cost ~$1200 new.

Re: Shark Shields
I have to agree Shane -- I'll support the cull on Whites when and only when they start chasing people down the streetshane wrote:What a Stupid Ridiculous article. I doubt the "journalist" Laura Banks has anything to do with surfing. The comments below the article pretty much say it all. The vast majority of Australians don't support a cull and I expect the rate would be even higher among surfers.
Long before we need to cull sharks - we should ban cars , M/cycles , horse riding and a lot of other much more dangerous activities
Laura Banks is a F/wit

Re: Shark Shields
The stupidity of that journo is absolutely breath taking.
Your mind is like a Parachute! It only works when it is open

Re: Shark Shields
Like I said before a shock stick would be the go for me personally if I was concerned about sharks and that at a last resort.

To me, this seems like crazyness.
Carrying a live gun like device on a kayak, just to go out
For a fish??? Try to hit a moving shark from your kayak... Good luck
Maybe consider what would happen if it accidently went off.
My old man snorkelled for abs and fish back In the 70s.
His mate wielded a "powerhead" with a shotgun shell attached, and accidentally set it off, almost killing someone.
Guns like this are crazy in my opinion, something the yanks can keep to themselves
Not going to argue this point.

Re: Shark Shields
You can generally find second handers for about $250 so we went to double that, should have gone just a little higher in hindsightshane wrote:So did anyone from here win the auction. It reached $515.00 for the pair, still good value when they would cost ~$1200 new.

Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.
