It's our dude Mikey Ciaramella's birthday today and we are out here in Jerz helping him become acquainted with the number 18! If you see Mikey today pinch his little cheek and tell him you love him...
Below: Mikey at age 18 keeping up with his FB Bday love letters and Mikey at age 11 in love with only one thing... Surfing.
Found all of these photos of Mikey on his pop's fridge and all over their pad in Stone Harbor , NJ. We are staying here en route to NYC for the Quiky contest. Thank you Joe and Mikey and all of the Avalon lokes that have been so rad to us. We have enjoyed your company, your waves and ourselves for sure.
Josh Kerr redefined himself as one of the worlds best surfers, in ALL conditions. If the world, up until now, only knew Josh for his innovative aerials and dynamic free-surfing, it's mind has been forever changed after Tahiti. Josh is a madman and charged Teahupo'o with all of the style and none of the care care in the world during the event and on the monstrous lay days when the event was "too big to run." After this event Kerrzy stands 7th in the world (you know you're number one as far as we are concerned bud.) Rusty Slayer HERE.
Josh challenged Julian, Bede, Jeremy, and Slater all on our Rusty SLAYER model, the boards have a pulled in tail like a big wave board and a wider nose, Riding the Slayer gave Josh and advantage as he could sneak into the waves with perfect timing and allowed him to control the board inside the tube for as long as humanly possible.
The ASP dubbed Josh Kerr's performance at Tahiti this year as one of the most fearless stylish standouts of the event and that is exactly what landed him a Semi Finals finish. Damn fine work sir!
See you in NYC, hopefully Miss Hurricane Irene left us a beach left to party on.
Our dude, Joey Brezinski brought it today with the consistency in NYC and won his second Manny Mania. We are super happy for Joey and if you see him running around in NYC or perhaps at the Maloof Cup in Vegas, throw him a high five! So Freaking R.ad !
Everyone has been talking & there is word on the street that Rusty has this new single fin that is making surfing so much more fun than they can remember. People are hyped on this thing. Come shred one yourself in VA Beach on Wednesday August 24th at Freedom Surf Shop. Give one a cruise and tell us if you're in love all over again. Click below for more details. See you there.
Contest starts tomorrow. GO JOSH ! We will be updating you here and on Facebook with contest results, party happenings and so much more fun, don't forget to follow us on Twitter @Rusty Surfboards
