Must watch for WA guys.
The game changer is the torniquete applied in the water immediately after the attack.
A lot of our breaks are reef and relatively a fair way out.
You have 2 to 4 mins to get that torniquete on for a missing leg so carrying one in the water is critical.
I carry and hand out the one below but any thing you can apply and tie off easily is good. (x 10 much cheaper)
The idea of using a leg rope is a last desperate measure, if you have sets rolling over the top of you then you will have to chose to stay with the victim and swim (the shark will likely follow you) or hold your board and lose the patient who will likely be unconscious.
PS Mick I have yours in my car waiting for you whenever I can catch up.
What's your torno going to do when they've had their guts ripped out or their cock & balls chewed on .truly you are my hero.
Better than nothing at all I guess. If it helps one person it's done it's job.
Yep better than nothing I guess.
I'm So glad We don't need tornos ,we have shark drums instead. I prefer shark drums than parting with my limbs.
It takes a special kind of human to celebrate the death and destruction of the ocean around him
JB don't you do that everyday selling boats so that last jewie or snapper can be caught?

I don't see how, i have no issue with fishing sustainably.. Your example of Dhu fish and snapper are hardly an endangered species. Thats why you can legally catch them, with in bag limits and size restrictions..
Obviously you feel boats are contributing to the death of oceans, (as you have raised the connection) I find that curious how can you have a problem with fishing and boating but agree with culling sharks
Im not sure your fully across the subject as you may not know that not all boats are used for fishing, many people use them to drive around and scuba dive from, some pull skiers and wake boards, even a few just like to enjoy the sunshine and eat bickies and drink wine on them, I'm not sure how any of those people would be killing the ocean either..
But i like that your thinking about me

I celebrate human life and the small amount of sharks killed by bait drums to achieve that, is worth it.
again I get dragged into replying to unproven overdramatise statements by you.
Mate the destruction and death of our ocean is very real for me, it's in my backyard.its the worlds biggest coral reef .
It has coral bleaching the size of small country's
That's a real world ocean problem JB not a few sharks taken to save a human life.
But before you point the finger at other people being the problem.
Think about your footprint/impact on the ocean
From jetting around the worlds oceans to selling boats that are responsible for death of fish and their habitat .
The amount of dead sea life I see washed up from propeller cuts fish net by catch and pollution ,yes pollution, turtles are killed by plastics everyday . But None of that plastic come from a boat hey.
Jb Tells us about two stroke boat motors and
The environmental impact.
I remember a 2stroke ban in some US states.
AND Diesel motors are so good for environment
All those recreational boaters doing nothing to water environments hey.
We are really breaking new ground here raising the bar to new .....low height.......in a shark thread moralising over selling boats in a state with population of 3 million with a coastline of 20,000 km plus.
Plus 2 stroke sales LOL were huge in 1974.
JB hang your head in shame
An actual mature conversation re sharks here for anyone interested on the East Coast.

Do appreciate the torniquete image being shown repeatedly but
Now a carbon footprint has nothing to do with sharks , ffs but a shark coffee van has only facts and unbiased information to peddle ....you're killing me
Only to happy to share your torno pic around.
LOL How's sales in QLD going?
The comments under that black coffee post are interesting, the article offered nothing.
Read these last week and thought they outlined the options etc in a well balanced way.

i remember reading on seabreeze that drums don't catch GWS thats why they will never work in WA.
they must have different GWS in NSW.
Premier Mike Baird said 31 great white and five bull sharks had already been successfully tagged and relocated since May 2016.

Our local Liberal bloke was talking up doing something effective about sharks, I might email him & get him to start talking about it again.
Was always a Labor voter, but when Labor was talking about stopping the so called Cull. I voted Liberal for the first time in my life & would do so again given the same circumstances. Labor don't appear to have any good leadership locally or federally anyway, possibly the worst leadership ever.
It really sux that the East coast has something in place to control shark numbers full time & we have a little trial at the wrong time of year with the wrong equipment & its called ineffective without having any chance of success.
But to state that it is no longer an option for the future I do not agree with. Given time, people will wake up to the lie's being told by the vocal minority & perpetuated by the simple minded & gullible in favor of a glorified fish.
It would also be great to discuss the indirect attraction we induce on sharks.
Correct me if I am wrong, but don't the cray pots scattered around Gracetown WA all contain dead fish etc?
I've also heard stories of boats dumping bait and dead fish around these areas near the coastline. Some even said they saw mulitple sharks following the boat like seagulls ..
Surely there should be some regulation on how close cray pots can be to surfbreaks especially around the South End where there was a fatal attack 3 years ago.
