The Origin
Shark Stop was founded in Northern New South Wales in 2017 as a proactive response to the regional increase in shark-human interactions. Our goal was to design a wetsuit fabric that was scientifically proven to minimise the severity of injuries from shark bites. After four years of rigorous research, our fabric was independently tested by scientists from Flinders University.

Unveiling Shark Stop Fabric
Engineered to excel, Shark Stop fabric underwent meticulous testing both in labs and the natural habitats of Great White Sharks near Neptune Islands, South Australia. The results were groundbreaking. Peer-reviewed studies confirmed its exceptional performance in minimising punctures compared to standard neoprene during a shark bite incident.
