Neal Purchase Jr.

Neal Purchase Jr. is an Australian surfer-shaper whose craft bridges heritage and innovation. Based on the Northern New South Wales coast, he operates under the banner of Neal Purchase Designs, a boutique, family-run shaping workshop dedicated to low-volume, high-quality custom surfboards. Neal is fanatical about fins and understands how critical fin design and placement are to board performance. Steeped in a legacy from his father—an influential Gold Coast shaper—Neal has forged his own path through both riding and design. Whether shaping intuitive high-performance boards or surfing barrels and points with equal fluency, Neal exemplifies a rare blend of surfer, craftsman, and innovator.
