Brog Surfboards

The Mid Potato

The Mid Potato takes design elements from a mini-simmons and adds a tighter turning radius with its unique diamond swallow tail. The abrupt outline adds for re-directional turns and the ability to break trim and shatter the stereotype of the template’s flow nature. The overall spoon shape allows easy wave entry, while SNAP, CRACKLE, POP the quad fin set-up adds bursts of speed like a sugary cereal for a five-year-old. NO SPUD HERE, as all boards are completely hand shaped by Mark Brog and glassed in the Soul Performance factory, with love and attention! Over twenty years of shaping and surfing experience.

Listed Board dimensions: 6’4”x22 5/8”x 2 5/8”

The Outlaw

The Outlaw is designed to put you in places you don’t belong. Small enough to get you into the “power pocket” of the wave but with enough volume to get you out of trouble and have you flying down the line to set up that next big turn. It’s a great groveler board for small waves but will have you ripping in medium punchy stuff too.

Ability = Intermediate / Pro

Conditions = Sloppy Small to Head High / Slightly Overhead and Good

Recommended Size Ratio = 2”-4” Shorter than standard shortboard
