In 2013 a University of Western Australia neurobiologist conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks \u0026amp; presented their results in a Ted Talk. The patterns disperse the shark’s ability to identify the item, and mimic non-food source items in their environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rock-It BIG SOFTY with SHARKGUARD is made with quality construction and environmentally sensitive processes. Three marine wooden stringers are coated with an epoxy nano-coating to resist water absorption, then surrounded with a proprietary EPS foam and a color-fast \u0026amp; UV resistant soft top layer. The soft top has a wide texture and doesn't require wax, although wax will improve grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire board is heat laminated with no harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins in the production process, and manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater.
