Jake stopped by the factory to show off a few of his favorite boards and to let us know how his surfing conquests are coming along...His favorite board is a 5'-7.5" Rusty Redline EPS squash tail and it seems to working great for him because he just recently claimed the first place title in the NSSA Explorer Boys Southwestern Conference!

Rusty and Jake

"I guess I am fortunate to live 15 minuets away from the Rusty surfboard factory...even though I only visit a couple times a month, it is always fun to see what's new. All the guys are super chill and there is most likely something new on the endless racks of surfboards to check out. Rusty is usually there to talk over my boards (if he isn't in Fiji which is like every other week) This week I picked up two new boards, basically very similar in size (5'-7.5" & 5'-8") but a lot different in other ways. Both are EPS foam which I like because of the sensitivity and lightness. Ok...now I am off the Lowers to test drive these things!” - Jake
