ABSTRACT:
A surfboard shark repellent system for repelling sharks away from an individual while surfing. The surfboard shark repellent system includes an attachable magnet and a transmitter unit that emits sound waves at a frequency undesirable to sharks. The transmitter unit is contained in a watertight enclosure affixed to the upper surface towards the rear end of a surfboard usually submerged in the water while the user waits for a wave. The magnet attaches to the transmitter unit functioning as an on/off switch for the transmitter unit and is also connected to the user by a tether and band.
