2010 ECSC: Day 3

And the mayhem continues… Apart from the all day antics in Vendor Village day 3 held something a little special for the spectators!

Rusty was the presenting sponsor of the bikini contest that took place on the main stage. After a quick mishap when a band thought they were suppose to play during the same time as the bikini contest the crowd filed in and the contest was under way! Will let you be the judge and you can see the winner crowned in day 4.

2010 ECSC: Day 2

Just when I thought the beach could not get anymore crowded and the kids would get tired of walking in circles getting product left and right came day 2 of the ECSC…

With Vendor Village opening at 10am you better believe we had a line of kids at the dunk tank ready to go at 10am! Unfortunately, we had set dunk times at 11, 1 and 3 so we could manage our product and keep us from burning out at noon. In all good fun everyone got a chance to dunk there favorite chump and kids were sure to come back at the set dunk times.

The highlight of day 2 at ECSC was the band Party Theft consisting of Rusty team rider Spencer Regan, Volcoms’s Andrew Doheny, RVCA’s Ford Archibold and front man Diego. Spencer, Andrew and Ford were all out to surf in the contest and Rusty helped the boys rent some equipment so they could play on the main stage after the event. If you have not yet seen Party Theft play live well then you need to. Even if you don’t like the music it’s okay because you will walk away entertained and I guarantee you will go back to see them again! Take a peek at a few of the photos to see what I am talking about and stay tuned for the ECSC video…

Damien Fahrenfort, Mikey Ciaramella, and Keto Burns advanced through their heats today and will continue the grind to the finals tomorrow.

Stay tuned for day 3…

Keto Burns Ripping on the Northside

Congrats to the Rusty Groms for Making it to Nationals!

NSSA Nationals is a great time to be a grom...

What better way to amp up for a heat than a little Black Sabbath on Guitar Hero?  What better way to rejuvenate after an exhausting paddle battle than an extra large shaved ice and fresh BBQ fish tacos?  What beats a post heat massage?

The Rusty Groms got to enjoy the V.I.P. treatment.  Jake Halstead, Keto Burns, Tayler Brothers, Mikey Ciarmella, Corey Howell, and Ian Garcia climbed the ranks of the NSSA to earn a spot in the coveted Nationals competition for a chance to duke it out with the next crop of (soon to be) World Title contenders...

Keto Burns Pulls in for the Win…

keto-nssa-win

St. Augustine, Florida's wonder grom Keto Burns finished up with a boys 1st place and open mens 6th place for the ESA Championships held in the outer banks of North Carolina. After a week of battling 50 mph plus winds in heats and amping competitors Keto was rewarded with fun head high surf and pumping barrels in his final. Now that Keto is done with this event he will be in Costa Rica for the next 2 weeks.
