Shaping Mark Brög
I am passionate about surfing and shaping. I shaped my first board as a teenager, learning from some of the top shapers at South Bay surf companies. In 1984, I joined Paradise Epoxy in Torrance, California where I honed my skills further. In the 1990s, I delved into the intricacies of mould making, vacuum bagging, and carbon fiber lamination at Advanced Composites. All along this journey, I was immersed in the world of shaping, discussing conventional and unconventional ideas about board design and then applying those ideas to shaping boards.
From 1992 to 1994, I embarked on a remarkable surf adventure, traveling through Mexico, France, and Africa, including some time at Jeffreys Bay, surfing and sharing my shaping skills to train local shapers. This incredible journey continues to influence how I approach shaping boards for my customers.
Today, I am very fortunate to have a modern surf shop with the latest eco-friendly technology and equipment. At Brög Surfboards, I get to work directly with amazing surfers to shape their custom boards from start to finish.
I am also very fortunate to have a great family. I am the proud father of two.
