Xcel OR Axis Long Sleeve Wetsuit 2 mm Front-Zip Women Tiger Shark
The story of the tiger shark
Many people are frightened at the thought of encountering a tiger shark, but in truth tiger sharks are one of the most cautious and docile species in the sea. Due to this undeserved bad reputation, shark rafting, sport fishing and the dangers of nets and longline fishing, the tiger shark population is now threatened with extinction. We hope that through this partnership we can educate and raise awareness of this important shark for our ocean ecosystem. The latest addition to the collaboration, the tiger shark pattern, was created from the stripes of one of our favorite tiger sharks, "Curly Girl". This utilized biomimicry (copying nature's design) to mimic natural camouflage and also appear more like an apex predator. Thank you for your efforts to continue the fight to #HelpSaveSharks.
