Skate blade profiling – unleash a skater's full potential

Skate blades profiled to a user's specific needs enable goal-oriented on-ice training and skill development. The skates are not just sharp; they actively support and improve an individual's performance. Profiling is about finding the right compromise between desired characteristics: agility, grip, and bite on one side, and efficiency, glide, and balance on the other. The PARDUC® profile selection includes premium profile templates for various shaping needs, designed to enhance the individual skating characteristics of athletes at both professional and junior levels.

What kind of skate profile are you looking for?

Our selection of profiles covers everything from basic single-radius profiles to advanced quad-radius profiles. In addition to traditional radius profiling, we also offer elliptical profiles whose geometry changes along the entire length of the blade.

EAGLE SERIES profiles feature a blade shape composed of two arcs; the front arc determines agility, and the rear arc determines balance and glide. Check out the popular EAGLE 9-10 profile, a favourite among young players.
COUGAR SERIES profiles shape the blade with a flat glide surface and a single radius. The length of the glide surface affects stability and glide, while the size of the chosen radius impacts agility and acceleration. For example, the Profile Template COUGAR 11-60-11, with its long glide surface, is ideal for profiling the skates of beginner ice hockey players when the goal is extreme stability and good glide.
BEAR SERIES profiles consist of four different radii. BEAR profiles have a natural forward pitch, which creates a slightly front-weighted skating stance, making them an excellent choice for forwards. Note that this forward pitch can make backward skating more difficult and is therefore not the optimal choice for defensemen. Discover the BEAR 1 profiling template, a profile designed for juniors.
RADIUS SERIES profiles are traditional, single-radius profiles without a separate glide surface. Generally, new skates come with a factory profile equivalent to the RADIUS series. In this series, a large radius means more stability and glide, while a small radius directly translates to more agility and bite. The Radius series is especially popular among goaltenders. For example, explore the RADIUS 25 profile template, designed for goalies seeking agility and medium stability in their game.
BADGER SERIES profile templates combine good glide and agility properties into a single profile. BADGER series profiles do not have individual radii; instead, they consist of one continuous curve. These profiles have a natural forward pitch and are particularly suitable for offensive players who do not want to compromise between glide and agility. Take a look at the BADGER 1 profile, designed for junior players.
FOX series profile blades combine explosive acceleration, high agility, and strong stability thanks to a triple-radius profile. The profile consists of three radii: a small radius at the toe for quick acceleration, a medium radius in the middle for maintaining speed, and a large radius at the heel for stability. The FOX series also features a forward pitch that shifts the skater’s center of gravity into a more aggressive, attack-oriented stance. It is especially suited for dynamic forwards and playmakers who rely on quick direction changes and sharp movement in tight spaces.
