I think us poleys are second in their food cycle.they will pick off the kiters first.
Here are 5 animals more likely to kill you than sharks:
Cows kill 20 people per year just in the United States.
Dogs kill around 30 people per year in the US.
Ants kill up to 50 people each year in Africa.
Hippos kill around 2,900 people in Africa.
Mosquitoes kill up to 820,000 people per year (800,000 from Malaria and a further 20,000 from Dengue) around the world. This makes them about 117,000X more deadly than sharks. Think about the next time you get bitten.
I had planned to, but I removed a good chunk of skin on my leg in a bike stack the other day ..... so I wast worried about a shark but more so an infection from all the other poo that would be floating around after the heavy rain.
looking very gusty

Are there any workable shark deterrents windsurfers can wear? Too many seen in lake Macquarie lately including a 4.2m great white who hangs around.
You're better off just giving up. Stop sailing.
Dont listen to Rexi Sue! He's a nice bloke but just a little bit simple with alternatives.. Just hang at Budge with the mullet and smugglers. Join our team as well we are a lovely bunch 
Thanks Mick..
Doesn't Nathan think there's a shark in the channel?

Seriously Mick!!! This is a windsurfing forum. The sport revolves around water. If individuals don't like or are scared of what is in the water stay out of it! What more 'simple alternative' can be better??? Should I have said wear a tin foil hat maybe? Would that appease you? Maybe a chain link suit of armour? The idiocy is in the question, not my blunt answer.
I think it is a good question. i know they make special stripey wetsuits for surfers that are supposed to fool sharks..just wondered if anyone had come up with some sort of thingy you could wear on your leg that would emit sounds etc to deter them..

I know that Jason in Gerroa wears something around his ankle to deter sharks, maybe you can ask him, some time ago that device was pretty big and had a sort of antenna, impractical for windsurfing, but now is as small as a gps
Ah ha! That's what I must have remembered..I thought asking the windsurfing community would be the fastest way to get an answer from someone who had tried something..
I have taken to towing an enormous inflatable killer whale behind my board and wearing a crocodile onesie to repel sharks. So far no shark attacks so this must be a truly awesome strategy
