Barton Lynch, National Director and 1988 World Champion Surfer says, “I’ve been working with Surfrider Foundation Australia for over 20 years. Unless each of us takes responsibility to protect our oceans, the sad fact is they might not always be around for future generations to enjoy.

“Aligned with Shark Shield brand, Surfrider protects Australia’s waves for ocean-lovers through their Endangered Waves campaign, encouraging local and national action to ensure unique coastal environments are protected,” adds Lynch.

Lindsay Lyon, Managing Director of Shark Shield says, “Surfrider supports Shark Shield because it is non-invasive for sharks, and the new product doesn't impact on surfing performance or surfboard design.
