Last weekend the Trinity River Pro Wakeskate Invitational presented by Monster Energy went down in Fort Worth, Texas. With four obstacles over the 24 spillway including a fun box, incline rail, kicker and the Monster wall ride, the contest format was simple: each rider had a freeride pulled by a PWC and the best trick on each obstacle would earn the rider $1000. Rusty's Andrew Pastura threw down a 270 shove to front board on the fun box to earn him earn him a cool $1000 and custom forged branding iron trophy. Congratulations Andrew!

San Diego legend and South Coast Surf Shop Owner Eric "Bird" Huffman has one of the largest and most eclectic surfboard collections and he was kind enough to let us take a sneak peak at a few of his prize Rusty Surfboards that he could never let go of...
This week we'll have a look at Bird's Go-To Gun shaped by Rusty.
Dimensions: 7'6" x 18.65" x 2.5"
"He built that for me in May of 1990. That board was pretty much my standard gun. It works surprisingly loose! We we're working on fins at the time and we still pretty much use the same fin system today on my longer boards. The trailing fin is a little bit longer than the side fins. I cluster my fins a little bit tighter together and I decrease my entry rocker and Rusty has always worked with me really, really well on that one. The flames were done by Peter St.Pierre over at Moonlight Glassing. That board has been with me everywhere...from Fiji to Hawaii back in the day. Then I sold it! I sold it to Marty Vaughn from P.B. Point. He rode it until he destroyed it! He gave it back to me with one fin on it and figured I would never ride it again, but it was such a good board that I had to restore it. I took over to Roper's and had him patch it up and put the fins back on it. It might not look it, but this board still finds it way in the water from time to time."
