We took the standard CHONK shape, which was already performing incredibly well in high performance wave pools, reinforced the deck and rails, and added a center fin box with two removable fin options (both included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is a 2\" trailer fin and the second is a 3.5\" fin. This board can be ridden three different ways easily — as a twin fin (remove center fin) to slide the tail out more, with the 2\" fin for a little bite on turns (most common use), or the 3.5\" fin for better hold on a steep face of a larger wave (barrels, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a board that is versatile for many uses (oceans, wave pools, river surfing, etc.) and can combine high performance with the ability to stand up to abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDA WIZARD has been developed over many hours of testing at The Lineup wave pool in Hawaii and in barreling waves on the North Shore. It is a rare combination of value, durability, and capability, and has proven itself by being tested, improved, and regularly ridden by some of the best wave pool surfers in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented SHARKGUARD Magnetic Shark Deterrent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2+1 fins included (performance fin box system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV resistant deck (wax not required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor riders up to 90kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock-It Zebra Striped Sea Camo HDPE bottom slick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 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 that is thicker than our other models to withstand repeated airs and stomping. Additional tail reinforcement and a thicker underlayment also bulk up the board for durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft top has a wide texture and doesn't require wax, although wax will improve grip. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix epoxy-coated specialized magnets are embedded into the foam beneath the slick bottom of the board, projecting a magnetic field into the water around the board rider. This is a known and effective shark deterrent. The magnetic field overwhelms a shark's sensory electroreceptor system and causes discomfort in the animal. No harm is done to the shark. No batteries or recharging are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisit https:\/\/rock-itsurf.com.au\/pages\/sharkguard for more details, links to testing videos, peer-reviewed scientific tests and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we do not guarantee SHARKGUARD works equally across all shark species and that all interactions with sharks will be avoided.

There is no guarantee of zero shark interactions with the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmbush attacks from large predatory species will not be deterred by SharkGuard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnetic Field \u0026amp; Medical Devices\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause SharkGuard uses strong magnets, people with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted medical devices should not attempt to handle or ride a board containing SharkGuard technology without consulting a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese magnets can also disrupt sensitive electronics (e.g., hard drives, credit cards, cell phones) if placed too close. A recommended distance of at least ~12 inches\/30 cm away should be maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eENVIRONMENT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with a focus on durability using environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes.

In 2013, a University of Western Australia neurobiologist conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks and 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. Of course there are no guarantees, but if there is an indication something could be safer, why not do it?!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e When not in the water, keep the soft-top out of direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock-It Surfboards Australia","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43657672491121,"sku":null,"price":449.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mallard Green","offer_id":43657672523889,"sku":null,"price":449.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/1595\/5825\/files\/Copy_of_Da_Wizard_3_1_b8de9a7d-8d93-43c7-9552-a38978c30eac.png?v=1784230668","url":"https:\/\/rock-itsurf.com.au\/products\/da-wizard","provider":"Rock-It Surfboards Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
