FCS x SHARKBANZ POD

I surf Oahu, north and south shores at dawn. I'm on a SUP so the ankle bracelet was almost always out of the water. I put these pods on my leash and now have even more peace of mind. I don't notice any drag. Haven't had a close encounter yet but recently was coming out of the water and a small shark was apparently within a couple feet of me (others saw it-I didn't). It never came close to me. Coincidence or Pod? Doesn't matter. But when a lifeguard jets up and tells me an aggressive tiger was spotted three breaks over, I still get out of the water - especially when I know it's headed in my direction. I don't go int the water without a pod now.

Hola buenas noches el producto llego incompleto, hace falta el neoprenne pouch, para poder sujetar el sharkbanz al leash, que puedo hacer? Tengo que devolver el paquete?

My husband is now not as scared to be out surfing by himself! Let’s pray that it works when one is around! We live in shark infested waters!

So far it feels like a compact product that is solidly built.Have to say, though, it just feels like a strong magnet and not much else “space-age”/“patented” technology going on beyond that lol.I surf in the dark everyday through sun-up for 1-2 hours a day (I’m aware I’m lucky for this lifestyle).But my point is the problem seems like it’s going to the cheap feeling Velcro pouch this pod comes with.The one that you attach around your leash cuff.And it’s not the Velcro that feels like it’s going to be the issue (which is what I originally was concerned about before purchasing - this isn’t as big an issue because once you strap it onto your leash cuff you just don’t undo the pouch until you switch it onto a new leash).The issue is the material for the pouch is already showing wear and small holes that will inevitably get bigger soon.I’ve only had this Sharkbanz x FCS pod for a week (surfing everyday since in okay waist-shoulder high conditions in San Diego) and check out my photo: it’s showing those aforementioned small holes.Checked here and on the website to find replacement pouches and I found nothing.I think if this persists people will FOR SURE lose the pod through the flimsy Velcro-pouch.I think FCS should come up with a similar pouch made up of a different material soon or sell replacement pouches. Or else I am not supporting this product any time soon.

Attaches to leash easy and securely.
