42.5" Magic Carpet

 42.5” x 21” x 2”

The world's first bodyboard with integrated magnetic shark deterrent technology. Not only does it help to keep you safe in the water, we also made sure that it shreds and stands up to abuse just like our surfboard lineup.

• Patented SHARKGUARD Magnetic Shark Deterrent
• Molded channels and hand grips in bottom
• Unique contoured top deck
• Leash included
• For riders up to 190lbs
• Rock-It Zebra Striped Shark Deterrent HDPE bottom slick

SHARKGUARD

Four epoxy-coated specialized magnets are embedded into the foam beneath the HDPE 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.

SEA-CAMO ZEBRA STRIPED BOTTOM

In addition to the patented SHARKGUARD technology, we add a visual deterrent to our boards as well. 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.

CONSTRUCTION

The Rock-It 42.5" SHARKGUARD Magic Carpet bodyboard uses a cutting-edge 3D lamination process in which all layers of the board are compressed and sealed within the mold at the factory. This results in a near-seamless finish between the slick bottom and top materials and creates a more durable final product.

No harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins are used in the production process, and the board is manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater. All materials used are recyclable. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Please note that we do not guarantee SHARKGUARD works equally across all shark species and that all interactions with sharks will be avoided. Read all disclosures below.

SharkGuard Reduces Risk But Does Not Eliminate It

SharkGuard is a shark deterrent that helps reduce the risk of unwanted shark interactions, but we do not guarantee complete protection or prevention of all shark encounters. There is no guarantee of zero shark interactions with the device.

Ambush attacks from large predatory species will not be deterred by SharkGuard.

Magnetic Field & Medical Devices

Because 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.

These 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.

Care Tip: When not in the water, keep the soft-top out of direct sunlight.
