Our Story



"In 2006, a weekend getaway in The Bahamas quickly turned into a nightmare when my backpack (which contained my Passport, cash, IDs and Debit Card) was stolen while I was swimming in the water" said Founder/CEO Bill Rigopoulos, "I was stranded with no money, no identification, not even a room key to get back into my hotel room. I was forced to rely on the generous support of the hotel staff, family and the very expensive issuance of an emergency Passport." This horrible experience led me on a quest to design a product that will enable users to take those valuables with them into the water and NEVER have to leave them unattended or hiding under a beach towel.

I began working on the design almost immediately, even though my background wasn't in fashion. The original concept was more or less a fanny pack, and I called the project "The Aqua Valet." At the time I was primarily concerned with the function of the pack, not really the style. However, to really appeal to my target market, I realized style was equally important. After over a year of failed attempts to come up with a design I was happy with, my progress hit a brick wall. Not to mention the name "The Aqua Valet" was met with too many mixed reviews from the people around me.

Several months later, I was watching a James Bond film on a Saturday afternoon, the one where Halle Berry comes out of the water with a machete tied to her bikini. I knew right then that I needed a slimmer, sexier pack, one that is functional and looks great on a bathing suit or bikini. Shortly after, the name "Shark Pack" was born.

The result is our current line of waterproof aqua wallets. Constructed out of a durable .42 soft matte PVC, they are comfortable, light weight, and absolutely priceless when it comes to peace of mind. Not to mention they look great. We believe our waterproof aqua wallets are essential to any trip, even if it's just at your local watering hole.

All units come in your choice of white or black. We suggest that you start with The Mako and/or Mako, Jr then combo your order with The Great White (our best seller) for your smart phone. All units come with a lanyard and re-sealable packaging. Both Makos also come with an arm strap and belt loop. All units will also fit nicely into most front pockets. We offer free shipping for any retail order over $35.00
