alexlewisjourno Good idea but has it been tested with every species of shark 🦈. If the shark doesn’t bite through it will break your bones causing a fatal attack. At 4,300PSI ( 18,222 N) a fir a Great White shark or 18 ton per sq inch equals to 18-19 cars across an inch.

alexlewisjourno After shark attacks across the world increased significantly last year, a survivor is hoping his new shark-proof wetsuit will offer surfers some protection from the ocean predators. 7NEWS

alexlewisjourno Your telling me a great white wouldn’t munch through that? Please! We surf and know the consequences! Better off throwing chain mail on! 😂😂😂

alexlewisjourno Is there an Australia Standard that can be used to test these claims and ensure that this wetsuit truly does protect the owner...
