Rpela’s vision is to provide the world’s leading shark deterrent solution which will ensure a safe future for any surfers, allowing people to surf without fear and harmoniously co-exist with sharks
RPELA is the FIRST independently tried and tested purpose built surfboard shark deterrent available on the market. It’s designed by surfers, for surfers. It’s not a product modified to fit a surfboard. It’s designed to give you peace of mind whilst working with the design of your board. Your safety and the performance of board is never compromised.
RPELA is not your usual diving device that is too bulky or spends half the time out of the water! RPELA’s shark deterrent is lightweight and integrated into your board. It’s on and protecting you as soon as your board hits the water. Rpela is the device every Surfer needs to assist in reducing the risk of shark attack.
The unique difference between RPELA shark repellent and other products available on the market is it is inbuilt to the contours of your board. It is so lightweight and compact that it has no effect on the performance of the board. RPELA is 100 % active from the moment the 2 electrodes come in contact with the sea water Eliminating that feeling of have I turned it on or not! The electric current generated by RPELA' s electronic shark repellent system affect the Ampullae of Lorenzini found in the nose area of sharks making it extremely unpleasant to be around. Extensive testing has been carried out with predatory sharks with outstanding results.
“It’s my responsibility as a parent to protect my children and encourage them to pursue their passions. RPELA does this and so much more. It’s no different than putting on a seatbelt in a car or wearing a helmet when they ride a bike. RPELA is the piece of safety equipment every surfer deserves. No one in my family surfs without a RPELA and neither should yours”
