A Torquay surf company has jumped on board a project to save sharks.
Glide Fins is helping with the design and manufacture of Fin for a Fin surfboard fins, which state: ‘If my life’s taken, don’t take theirs’.
The Fin for a Fin project is an Australian initiative to promote the coexistence of surfers and sharks by calling on authorities not to kill any shark that attacks a surfer, using the fins or a Fin for a Fin sticker.
“We’re totally behind it,” Glide Fins owner Marc Skelton said. “We were pretty rapt to get involved actually.
“Glide’s involvement is more to do with raising money for shark research, that’s our main reason we’re involved.
“Glide’s whole thing was, if these guys want to have a crack and they’re coming from the right place and the money’s going to the right place and they’re not doing it for profit, we’re really keen.
“I think surfers saying ‘we don’t want sharks killed’ is a great thing, and I think that’s good for the public.”
The project has gained international attention, including that of surfer photographer Mike Coots, who lost his leg to a shark as an 18-year-old.
“Shark incidents can evoke vengeful responses from family, friends, communities and governments,” Mr Coots said.
“As a surfer, I understand I’m entering a shark’s natural environment, and we need to coexist.
“If we kill sharks, we’re killing the oceans, we’re killing ourselves.”
