🏄 Order your custom surfboard from Joel Fitzgerald – in residence at the Shapers Club in Marennes

A unique board. A legendary shaper. An exclusive moment in Marennes.

The Shapers Club has the immense honor of welcoming Joel Fitzgerald this summer, one of the most respected Australian shapers in the world, for an exceptional residency in our EPV workshop in Marennes. This is a rare opportunity to order a custom surfboard, handcrafted in person by a leading figure in global shaping.

✨ Who is Joel Fitzgerald?

Son of Terry Fitzgerald, surfing icon of the 70s and founder of Hot Buttered, Joel carries on the family legacy while exploring new lines. A free-spirited surfer and passionate craftsman, he embodies the perfect balance between shaping tradition and modern innovation. Every board he creates is designed for speed, flow, and connection to the wave.

🔥 Why order a Joel Fitzgerald surfboard?

• 100% custom shape: define your surfing program, style, and build with Joel, and choose the model that suits you from his iconic creations (Dreamcatcher, Sea Gypsy, Space Hawk, etc.) or a custom shape.
• French artisanal manufacturing: all boards are shaped and glassed in our workshop in Marennes, certified "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (EPV - Living Heritage Company), for a high-end, durable, and local result.
