    Vince Broglio - surfer, shaper, big wave water rescue, waterman, artist

    Vince Broglio of Santa Cruz, CA is the definition of 'waterman'. Strong across a wide variety of disciplines in the ocean for over 40+ years, the cliff notes of his waterman resume go like this: 40 plus years surfing Santa Cruz, surfing Mavericks before pictures were ever published of that wave in a magazine, running jet skis as water patrol on the biggest swell days out there, hand shaping and glassing 1,000's of surf boards and other water craft, kite surfing, tow surfing, wing foiling, And on top of it all, he's an incredible artist creating unreal sculptures out of surfboard resin. But perhaps my favorite aspect of Vince is his longevity in the water -- he's still ripping today when many other guys have hung it up or taken steps back.  You can learn more about Vince, his boards and art on his website https://www.vincebrogliosurfboards.com/ and Instagram @vbsurfboards.
