"Shark Tank" has had many successes and failures over the last 10 years, but Sunday's episode offered a rare redemption to an electric-powered body board contractor.

Jason Woods, the inventor of the Kymera Body Board of Pleasantville, Calif., Was last seen in Season 5, when sharks ripped him for introducing a prototype invention without any product or company salable.

"You're not an entrepreneur, you're anxious to become a buyer," Mark Cuban, a shark, told him. "In 10 years, you did not know how to buy a product and sell it. Find someone else to run the business, but it will not be me. "

"As you may remember, my last ride around the tank did not go so well," said Woods during a painful trip back in time. Standing shamefully in front of the sharks, Woods and his company were in a much better place than five years ago. He followed Cuban's advice and partnered with Adam Majewski, who runs the day-to-day operations.

Majewski had seen Woods on "Shark Tank" and called him during the broadcast of the episode. The two reached an agreement and turned Kymera into a company that sold $ 350,000 for the first year, beginning with the recording of the episode, with an estimated annual turnover of 2 millions of dollars. Woods has also developed prototypes for an electric kayak and surfboard that will be introduced later.

"I saw the product and I said," I want it. I know other people want it. And I can see a market for this product, "said Majewski. "And I felt that the sharks might have misunderstood."

Shark Daymond John, who at the time described Woods' speech as the worst he has ever seen, did not mince words to talk about Kymera's $ 5 million valuation: "So we beat you up . You said we helped you. You come back and ask for $ 250,000 for 5%. That's how you thank me? Thank you, my God, you love me, right? Imagine if you were mad at me.

The valuation was too high and the profits too low for shark Kevin O'Leary, who wondered if he would ever get his money back. He decided to make them an offer to make the other sharks not believe in them: $ 250,000 for the 5%, with a fee of $ 500 from the Oy Leary brand on every board sold, up to $ 500. what he earns $ 750,000.

"So when you bankrupt them, how are you going to get your money?" Said Robert Herjavec, a shark, at one point.

"Why do not you just say no?" Said Lori Greiner at Woods.

"I would not say no until you know you have another offer," O'Leary said.

Fortunately, John had another offer: $ 250,000 for 10%. But Herjavec had an even better idea: he thought that they needed more than they were asking for and offered $ 500,000 for the same 10% stake.

"Yes!" Woods said, instantly accepting the offer.

"I like second chances," said Herjavec. "I mean, it's one of the things that makes this country great. Everyone deserves a second chance. "
