In the last few months all the things I told myself about sharks, locations, time of the year, behaviour etc. have all been bloody shattered!!! Bloody 3m GW taking a bite out of a foil board in Exmouth in summer, we weren't supposed to have GW attacks that far north and definitely not in summer!!! Faaaarrrk

Firstly I don't think sharks have much brand loyalty
Secondly I would like to propose we restart a tried and tested shark mitigation strategy. Please see pictured below:
