Profiling has become all the rage in the last few years, but it has also become an essential tool that can benefit any level skater. If you are looking to make a mechanical change to improve your acceleration, agility, speed, or stability, profiling is here to assist!

 

A blade's profile (also known as rocker or contour) is the shape or curvature of the skate blade lengthwise. All skate blades come with a profile from the factory, typically in a 9ft, 10ft or 11ft radius, but those can be inconsistent. A professional skate technician can set and maintain a baseline for your blades, and keep you skating consistently and confidently.
