Biting back at pollution, one recycled ocean plastic product at a time.
Biteback
We started Biteback because we want clean(er) oceans and we'd like to see a market flooded with products made with recycled ocean plastics.
The first novel idea that popped into mind was a spike to help ocean goers feel safer and increase their odds of survival if a shark were to become curious or aggressive.
The 316 stainless steel spike has a handle and sheath made with recycled ocean plastic. It is NOT designed to kill, but offers you better chances at fending off sharks and letting them know you are not an easy meal.
The low profile holster sits comfortably out of the way and keeps your Biteback secure, yet easily accessible in case of emergency.
Protect yourself and help clean up the ocean.

ABOUT
When we enter the ocean we must consider and respect the shark, because we are in their natural environment. Nonetheless, finding yourself in the company of a hungry or curious shark is not a good feeling, seeing as we have no natural defense.
We do have brains however and research has shown that the eyes, gills and electroreceptors concentrated around a shark's snout (Ampullae of Lorenzini) are their most sensitive parts. Therefore we've designed and developed The Biteback to help fend and fight off these apex predators and increase your odds of survival in an "investigation" or attack.
Who's it for?
The Biteback is applicable to surfing, swimming, diving/snorkeling, kitesurfing, SUPs, kayaking, fishing, water photographers, ocean rescue, and many more.
