Congratulations to Rusty Surfboards team rider, Jay Christenson, for claiming first place in the WSA season opener, held at Trails in San Onofre. Jay edged out over 60 competitors in the 16 and Under division in fun 2-3 foot surf, provided by Hurricane Eugene, on his way to the podium that day. Jay surfed the entire event on his all new Rusty "Misfit" model and it proved to be the contest board he has been looking for...

The US Open of Shred was a dang fine time. The boys slayed pretty heavy on both land and at sea. During our team autograph signing at Jack's on main street this past Saturday, here is what went down :

Fun.

Rusty and Rusty Surfboards team rider, Jake Halstead, have been working together over the past six months to come up with a board that complements high performance surfing, is perfect for contests, and works well in any conditions from knee to head high+. The board has a little more area overall (compared to the Redline and other high performance shortboards)- not wider across the center but with the nose being filled out just a tad. The tail template is a bit reminiscent of boards from the mid 80s where there is a little bit of a bump between the fin area and has a full rounded squash. Relaxing the front end while really bending the back. Single concave. Real even flow on the rail line and thickness. Nice clean curves...

The "Misfit" Rusty Surfboards model is now available... get yours today!

Rusty Surfboards team rider, Ryland Rubens, is 11 years old and instead of hanging out at arcades or candy shops or whatever it is 11 year olds do- Ryland gets barreled.  Ryland's most recent barrel fest came from a strike mission/dream trip to the Maldives, where he skipped out on Dance-Dance-Revolution and sour patch kids and opted for turquoise tubes instead...

Each month the crew at Surfline.com weed through the surplus of footage they receive to find the stand out "Punt of the Month", presented by Rusty.  This month the coveted title goes to Sebastian "Seabass" Zietz for his silky smooth superman he recently threw down in Indo- he didn't even lose any speed either, as he went straight into his next turn.  Congrats Seabass!  Click to have a look and remember to keep going above the lip because next month, the "Punt of the Month" prize pack could go to you!

Tons of local surfers and Rusty Surfboards enthusiasts flocked to the shores of Ocean Beach on Saturday morning to attend the Rusty Surfboards Demo presented by Pride Surf and Skate.  Several Rusty tents, along with a FCS tent to try various fins, were set up in front of Avalanche Jetty and, although the waves were not super clean, there were some fun sized corners coming through- making it a great day to demo Rusty Surfboard models in average California surf.  Have a look at some event pics below...
