Interview from BNQT.com
BNQT - THESE DAYS, YOU CAN’T FLIP THROUGH A SURF MAG WITHOUT HEARING ABOUT THE RUSTY ECO-STRETCH BOARDSHORTS. CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT THEM?
Charlie - Rusty’s Eco-stretch boardshorts feature a fully recycled, 4-way stretch fabric. In addition to having the right amount of stretch, they are some of the lightest on the market and are super quick-drying. Combine these features with the fact that they’re made from recycled fabric, and you can’t go wrong.
We have 3 styles that have the Eco-stretch fabric, and each come with a hangtag certification highlighting their environmentally friendly polyester. We came out with the Eco-stretch boardshorts last year as part of Rusty’s Global Cooling Boardshort series, with the mission of being a better steward to our environment.
BNQT - A NEW RUSTY INITIATIVE INCLUDES THE WIRED SERIES. WHAT DOES THIS LINE CONSIST OF?
Charlie - Rusty’s Wired Series is a collection of hooded fleece and jackets that feature HB3 technology, which incorporates built-in machine washable headphones in the drawcords of the product. There are no visible wires, and the cord to plug your iPod or mp3 device is also hidden in the front pocket. The cord port comes out of the pocket and that is where you plug in your music device. It’s really simple!
We introduced the Wired Series with 3 styles for men and 3 for girls. All pieces feature these machine washable earbuds with Rusty’s R-dot logo and are compatible with most mp3 players and mobile phone devices. From the men’s line, we have “Wired,” a traditional zip front hooded fleece in a variety of colors; and “Stealth,” a mid-weight military-inspired style with ribbed collars and shoulder tabs. Junior styles include “Glam Rock,” which has stud detailing; and “Set it Straight,” with contrast headphone drawstrings, zipper placket and hood lining.
BNQT - WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE WIRED SERIES IN STORES?
Charlie - It will be hitting the stores in June!
BNQT - FINALLY, HOW DID THE COLLABORATION WITH GREEN DAY COME ABOUT?
Charlie - We’ve had a relationship with Green Day for a bit — the guys in the band and their manager surf and now ride Rusty Surfboards. So when the Wired Series was developed, we showed some samples to the band and asked if they’d be interested in working on a collaboration. They jumped at the opportunity. We have some exciting things coming up with the band this Spring and product will hit stores in July, so stay tuned!
Rusty wake rider Sean O’Brien recently organized the Ride 4 Relief fundraiser event at OWC in Orlando, FL to help aid the recovery efforts in Haiti. Sean assembled an impressive group of wakeboarding pros for a night time wake show and managed to raise over $5,000! He plans to also set up an Ebay auction page later this week and if you want to donate right now, you can do so by visiting Ride 4 Relief’s Habit for Humanity site.

Grind Out Hunger slid into 41st Ave Safeway and teamed up with KDON 102.5 to make some Holiday Magic Happen. We packed 300 pre-made bags for Holiday dinners and we sold a bunch of them!!
