NEW- Swift Tips - The new wingtip construction is 30% stronger than previous versions while being lighter and using less dacron. The canopy now extends all the way to the Leading Edge, giving the kite a more streamlined look and performance benefits such as more direct turning. Splashing and swimming away imitates what prey does. When we’re dealing with top predators like sharks, we want to also act like predators," she said. A point which may be overlooked by most riders, the Boxer shines at light wind and down-the-line wave riding, drifting better than almost anything due to its lightweight single luff strut design. If you are looking for the perfect kite to enjoy regular/marginal winds, or take your foiling to the next level, enjoy the most efficient kite in the lineup, the Boxer.

( Japanese: 消えかけた絆！遊馬VSシャーク、宿命の決闘！！) Given the fact that the seal shark isn’t a fast swimmer, it is mostly a scavenger that feeds on small fishes and crustaceans. However, it is also equipped with strong and sharp teeth modified for grabbing and cutting. This means this 3-4ft shark also has what it takes to be a predator.

The kitefin shark has an almost circumglobal range in tropical and warm-temperature waters, consisting of a number of widely separated populations with likely little interchange between them. [17] This shark has not been reported from the eastern Pacific and northern Indian Oceans. In the northern Atlantic, it occurs in the Georges Bank and the northern Gulf of Mexico, and from the North Sea to Cameroon, including around the British Isles, in the western and central Mediterranean Sea, and off Madeira and the Azores. In the Indian Ocean, it is found off South Africa and Mozambique. In the Pacific, it occurs off Japan, Java, Australia and New Zealand, and the Hawaiian Islands. There is a single record of this species in the southern Atlantic, from off southern Brazil. [2] [4] [18] da Silva, H.M. (1988).

Kitefin sharks are bioluminescent. Scientists believe that the greenish-blue glow of this fish (typically concentrated on their bellies and underside is a type of camouflage that helps the shark blend in with the light from above. Although it has no commercial value in the western Atlantic countries, the Kitefin shark has a long history of human exploitation in certain regions of the world. In the Eastern Atlantic region (notably Japan), people eat seal sharks for their meat and also process them into fishmeal. Similarly, liver oil from the species is useful in Portugal, Japan, and South Africa. Henderson, A.C.; Flannery, K.; Dunne, J. (2003).

Fisheries operating off Portugal and Japan are responsible for most commercial landings of the kitefin shark, generally as bycatch in bottom trawls and on hook-and-line. [11] [26] Portugal reported a kitefin shark bycatch of 282 tons in 2000 and 119 tons in 2003. In other areas of the northeastern Atlantic this shark is rare and reported catches are likely confounded by misidentifications of other species; some are caught by mixed-species gillnet fisheries operating in deep water west of the British Isles, where surveys suggest that kitefin shark numbers may have declined by 94% since the 1970s. [2] [24] In the Mediterranean, this shark is caught incidentally by bottom trawl and gillnet fisheries. Although it is generally discarded alive, many are unable to return to deep water and do not survive. [2] In the Southern Hemisphere, catches by the Australian South East Trawl Fishery are increasing following the relaxation of regulations regarding seafood mercury content; this species is not included under Australian fishery quotas. [11] New Zealand kitefin shark catches peaked from 1986 to 1997. [25] In June 2018 the New Zealand Department of Conservation classified the kitefin shark as "Not Threatened" with the qualifier "Secure Overseas" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. [27] The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the kitefin shark as a vulnerable species in light of documented population declines.
