"A tornado of sharks' sharknado! 🦈 🌪️

[splocal]

This is a no brainer, why are we not using this in Hawaii already???

Surf my whole life here. I only get out of water for tigers. Hahaha
BTW, last I checked sharks swim in the ocean.

Malibu artist is already doing this in California and he has numerous videos showing sharks swimming right next to people surfing in the water while the swimmer has absolutely no idea that the shark is there and has numerous examples where the sharks don't pay any attention to the swimmers at all.

Ban on shark fishing, and tour boat feeding um now look pretty soon cannot even go in the water

[Surfdronesd]

Lifeguards, drone up. You can scan a beach in a few minutes, just do the surfline.

It's called "bait balls"baby... Unko's on da shore all salty, sharks get the pile all to themselves, lol. 😂

Hawaii State government let's get these Guards some drones already! Shouldn't even be a question. New tech is incredibly easy to fly, especially in open environment like the beach! Can cover a lot of ground. Also could be useful in search and rescue.

[MonteneDaniel]

Totally awesome, I agree with this program to save lives.

[viliamu]

Get more sharks than ahi out there..sad for the fisherman!

[ellentracey]

Ive been so close to those Sharks in Hawaii. Thank you Lord Jesus

[CupRamen-jo]

It's time to move to the mainland.

These sharks need to be arrested for harassing beach goers and deleting surfers. Are these sharks even paying their taxes to swim in the ocean?

They already make drones with speakers on them so you can communicate and notify the person there is a shark in the area and or heading in their direction. They also make drones big enough to lift a full grown man and fly around. It seems the ultimate drone would have the mounted speaker to communicate and powerful enough to lift you up out of the water or pull you to the beach faster than you could swim. I see a bunch of videos online showing the drone following a shark thats heading towards surfers just for the surfers to look up at the drone and think cool hopefully they get good shots of them surfing not thinking its trying to warn them what lurks below right under them 🦈

[jaredsouza]

Don’t know why they are shocked! They live in the ocean. We are encasing their home.

[dgroves]

Take this idea to Maui and track the tigers.

[doridasman]

Scored Kahe on Friday swell. Only "guest" was mama monk seal just outside the lineup.

[tundahking]

Nah no worries, just get da ulua poles out😂

[Keep_it_real_]

I grew up Makaha and my whole life surfing I seen 1 shark. I believe they no more food so they coming in. Or maybe there over populated. Maybe start eradicating. That footage of Nanakuli looks scary never thought we would see that much at one time on our leeward shores

[Bobman]

Near shore you just need to watch out for tigers. Reef sharks usually mind their business. Pelagics are a different story.
