Testing the theory that sharks wont eat turkish delight or licorice allsorts.

Honestly, prison recreation is getting far too lenient these days.

Leeroy was confident his new suit and stripy board camouflage would work just as well repelling crocodiles as he went to surf the Zambezi riptide....

Stripe guy says, "Your a wa**er"
Blue guy replies, "We're both wa**ers"

"Do you ever feel like it's time we stopped getting Mum to make our wetsuits?"

Despite 30 years in the making, Ken Done's entry into the surfwear market, launched at Maroubra Beach, was short lived.

Marty from Madagascar meets Avatar was not much of a success, much less as a surf movie

When Timm heard a rumour that Cobra gear was going up by 40% this year he stuck to the bargain bin.

I have seen video of the trials for these wetsuits. They weren't allowed to use human shaped dummies, but they used drums filled with fish. The drums were plain, or covered with neoprene in these patterns. Sharks have poor visual resolution but good contrast recognition. This means they have trouble discriminating broken outlines. They mostly attack from below and the "prey" is outlined against the blue sky above. From below, a surfer on a board in a black wetsuit looks remarkably like a fat seal. Anyway, back to the experiment - the drums coated in the patterns confused the sharks. They swam up to them but did not bite them. It was like the shark knew there was something tasty there but couldn't quite see where it was. They attacked the plain drum. Research done At UWA by Shaun Collin
