TAIL DESIGN

Let Brog guide you thru to the tail that best suits you. Pin, round pin, square, squash, diamond, swallow, and step square/round pin, Brogs personal favorite.

FOIL is the thickness flow from nose to tail between the deck rocker and bottom rocker, the meat of a custom shape. You will need Brogs advice and input. This is where the volume of foam is dictated: good paddling vs. performance. Thanks to our friends at US BLANKS Brog can design a custom rocker made specifically to your board/blank. Their technology allows Mark to design the rocker and their CNC mill does its magic.

RAILS are the edges of the board. Their shape and thickness are as unique as a snowflake, hand-shaped with contours to help influence the control, release and I’ve been developing my product line for 16 years, working on one board at a time, testing and refining until I call it a specific design.

Bottom Contour Flat, Vee, Panel vee, concave, double concave, full length double concave, one of my specialty designs. Triple concave, four channels, Six channels aka Klinker, and Six channel concave, a Brog specialty.

You have heard me mention specialty and wonder why? I’ve used them all and glassed and sanded them all too. It’s not special until you know how to glass and sand these tricky shapes. A bad glass or sand job can ruin these creations. Have you ever seen Surftech try and create threes shapes, no that’s right it takes experience and talent to do this type of creative shaping that I do for my clients. I share this information and experience with my customers so their next board will be way better than their last. The Last thing you want to do is to be pigeon holed into believing that a pop out is the right shape for you, most likely the sales person your talking to has never shaped a board or completed a ding repair in their life. It is rare that a shaper has time to talk to you, but not at Soul Performance. No matter if you’re a beginner or an expert just pick up the phone and make a shaping appointment and my attention and experience is they’re waiting for you to tap into. People are special and I have been given a special talent for listening to you and translating your desires into a foam shape that is designed just for you. Mark Brog
