SurfCo owner David and Doreen Skedeleski first met Dr. Mark Gelman about 15 years ago when he came into their showroom looking for Pro Teck Fins. Since then, he has moved from Hawaii to California but calls to order more Pro Teck Fins whenever he gets a new surfboard. Here is Dr. Gelman’s story on why he chooses to be one of SurfCo’s faithful “Smart Surfers!”
“I am a 40 something year old Emergency Physician and surfing is my greatest hobby. While I was learning this amazing sport in Hawaii in the late 90’s, I had a wipeout and got a nicely skinned leg thanks to my conventional surfboard fins.
This one injury led me to look for an alternative fin and I stumbled onto it with SurfCo Hawaii’s Pro Teck Fins. As my surfing has improved, I’ve come to appreciate Pro Teck Fin’s superior performance and quality construction. I’ve also been spared many potentially bad injuries thanks to my Pro Tecks, and they’ve adorned all my boards since.
Whenever I see patients with surf-related injuries, I always recommend Pro Teck fins as well as Diamond Tips, and once they’re sutured, I have them check out my board on my car in the parking lot. I’m starting to feel like I’m actually due some commissions! Thanks David and Doreen and keep up the good work!”
