Hailing from the Northern Beaches of Sydney Joel Fitzgerald spent his youth in and out of the Hot Buttered Surfboards factory where the shaping bays were run by his father and iconic surfing legend Terry Fitzgerald. After a 20 year professional surfing career travelling the world, Joel uses his passed down knowledge to design and create his own unique shapes which are widely regarded among surfing legends such as Ozzy Wright. Joel Fitzgerald Surfboards are full of soul and are crafted each from scratch. Paying homage to the traditional ways of shaping, Joels boards may take a little bit longer to produce but the wait is definitely worth it!
