Board Talk with Neal Purchase Jnr
There’s something about the way Neal Purchase Jnr surfs that just feels right. No wasted movement. No unnecessary flare. Just clean, timeless lines drawn with intent.
He grew up on Australia’s east coast, raised in the shaping bay. His dad, Neal Purchase Snr, was part of the early shaping scene in the ‘70s — and that heritage runs deep. Whether he's drawing impossibly clean arcs on a twin-fin fish or shaping a finely-tuned edge board, Neal blends old-school flow with a distinctly modern flair.
From early freesurf edits in Litmus and Glass Love, to the quiet refinement of his own board designs, Neal’s built a reputation for surfing that speaks louder than words. Twin fins, edge boards, channel bottoms — every curve considered, every board shaped by hand.
There’s a certain purity to what he does. No hype. Just well-made boards, honest surfing, and a deep respect for craft. It’s an honour to have a new batch of his boards land in-store and grace our racks. 100% Handmade Australian Gold. Real as it gets!

Sidecut Long Fish Futures Twin Keel
The Mick Mackie Sidecut long fish is designed to glide and trim on smaller waves yet still be able to draw nice clean carves on larger walls. With keeled fins it gives great drive for smooth classic lines. Seven ounce volan patches provide great strength to the glassing as well.

Classic Pin Single Fin with 10” fin box
This is basically a typical single fin design from around the 1976-1979 period. Designed to surf smooth and be able to draw clean lines and turns from your surfing. Shaped from the original seventies blanks it is as close to that classic period style of board as possible. Seven ounce volan patches provide great strength to the glassing as well.

Sidecut Swallowtail/ Mini Gun Futures quad
This Mick Mackie surfboard is a new hybrid I have come up with that sits somewhere between a classic single fin mixed with modern sidecut curves to provide resistance free turning, coupled with a quad fin set up to add that bit of zing to the performance of the board. A narrower outline will set well in larger well shaped waves. Seven ounce volan patches provide great strength to the glassing as well.
