The East Coast returns to glory from its springtime low. This system tapped into the warm Gulf waters, setting up windswell for the West Florida region. The strong winds on the east side of the cold front overnight on Saturday the 21st set up rare southeast swell for Florida on Sunday the 22nd, with offshore winds all day and perfect little right dredgers. This swell also impacted the Southeast U.S. coast, setting up a great day of surf for South Carolina into North Carolina. All of this means one thing for the Outer Banks into New Jersey: solid south swell. Rusty team rider Tristan Thompson snags a sick one close to home during the East Coast glory swell. Get the full swell outlook here.
Baldwin used balanced scoring to win its’ second Maui Interscholastic Surf Championship, Saturday at Hookipa Beach Park. It was the first championship for four-year coach Keoki Pfaeltzer. It was a divine Rusty vibe with the custom banners, flags, tents, stickers, and custom caps for everyone. Also, thanks to the other sponsors TS Restaurants and Hi-Tech Surf Sports for providing delicious food and amazing support. Check out full story and more photos!

Our main man, Josh Kerr, put on quite the stellar performance at the Bells Contest, battling his way to the quarterfinals to a neck and neck showdown with Slater. Slater narrowly edged him out, but the points Kerr earned from the event boosted him to the number one slot of the ASP Men’s World Ranking! His big finish at Bells also puts him at number 5 for the ASP World Title. Is there a World Title in Kerrzy’s future? Our magic eight ball says… “the outlook is probable”.
The second stop of the Oakley Shop Challenge and Rusty Demo Tour is next week at Outer Banks – the contest is Tuesday and Wednesday – the 17th and 18th. This will be followed directly on the 19th and 20th by the third stop of the Surf Shop Challenge at Casino Pier, New Jersey.
