…Got hooked-up with a surf buddy of mine @ the Surfline contest,Greg Linnemeyer who reps for Scheky/Innovative surf products.I told him of some of my down falls with my now past leash sponsor,and he invited me over to the Scheky Team,I accepted.The reasons:2)Past differences with my last sponsor(I really have nothing against my last sponsor,things just got thinner and thinner for me)and Scheky has some great cutting edge products.2)Their leashes have a molded collar/strap that conforms to your achillies tendon to keep the leash from sliding around(how many times do you ajust your leash in the water after it spins around ,and you step on it!)The leashes are comfortable and fit like a glove.The quality is top rate and the prices are very competitive.I see most if not all leash companies in the future offering this conforming cuff design.They also look killer,not just a piece of wetsuit sew to a piece of velcro.3)Tail pads,not just a tail pad but several types with some nice finish work and gel like cushioning areas with some aggressive traction designs.These pads come in standard,and asymetrical,for either goofy foot or regular foot.You might think why the bother…asym…they work killer !!! …Greg and I have surfed for years together in home breaks and both respect each other’s talents.Greg’s a great guy and I wish him much success with these cutting edge products. …You can contact Greg Linnemeyer by email, /ph# 310-408-0779 …I will post a ad for Greg/Scheky as well as a resource listing SOON here at Swaylocks.Herb

Herb, An Aussie leash manufacturer! Man, where did I go wrong?
…Tom,Nobody went wrong.My leashes were getting dated and I couldn’t find a valid replacement until Greg came along and offered them to me. …I used them today and found them to be quite good. …Time will tell. …There’s no contracts or promises here,it just friends helping each other.I would never use a product I didn’t like and double goes for indorsing one. …PS. Most everyone knows my email address by now,and it’s easy to get ahold of me.I’m always willing to listen and try new products…except fins,I really do like Red-X very much.Herb
No worries mate. I’ve got a Balin Board Bag. I was just given you rashes. We don’t make leashes. We just make the custom stuff for most of the domestic guys. So, I’ve got to rely upon the generosity others for our leashes as well.
…Thanks mate! …It’s nice that you think about your domestic surf product companies.If all domestic US companies were as thoughtful as you are Tom ,We,as a community, wouldn’t be in such fear of offshore companies/products coming in the USA.Herb
…I have added it to the resources and to the classifieds.Herb
