About Vince Broglio

The Surfer Behind Your Board

Surfing isn't just what Vince does - it's who he is. That passion, which began with his first wave at Waikiki Beach, drives every board that leaves his workshop after four decades of shaping and glassing.

Complete Craftsmanship

"I do everything myself." While many shapers focus on just one part of the process, Vince handles every stage of your board's creation - from shaping the blank to applying fiberglass, resin, fin boxes, and the final finish.

This hands-on approach, learned from the ground up starting with ding repair, ensures consistency and quality that's impossible when a board passes through multiple hands.

Experience You Can Trust

Vince has worked in large production shops but chose to focus on personal, hands-on quality work. After 40+ years in the craft, he remains committed to continuous learning and improvement.

"I think any kind of professional should get out of that field once you think you know it all."

Shaped for How You Surf

"When you're surfing a wave, you're drawing lines and looking at different sections. That's what's fun about riding different boards - they make you draw different lines."

This understanding drives Vince's approach to custom shaping. Every surfer draws different lines, and every board should help you draw yours better.
