Rusty

Rat Packer Brody Maclean is a mad grom from the south west of WA, charges and punts all with style, check this clip he put together, Dry Toast anyone?

Super Grom Ryland Rubens stands tall...

Ryland took home the 12 and under  1^st place trophy at the WSA - West Coast Championships at Churches this last weekend.  He finished the WSA season in 1^st with most points overall, in 5 events he took  3-1^st place finishes, a 3^rd, and 4^th.  He now automatically qualifies for the limited slots for the Surfing America USA Championships at Lowers in June... Big congratulations to Ryland from the crew at Rusty Surfboards.

Congratulations to Rusty Surfboard team rider, Hunter Lysaught, who just finished his last college final yesterday!  When Hunter was asked what he plans on doing with his degree in Business Administration he replied, "Surf professionally".  Makes sense.  Hunter is a smart kid a he knew that he wanted to obtain his college degree so he can have that to fall back on and he has been the captain of the Point Loma Nazarene Surf Team for the duration of his college career,  but now that school is out of the way he can focus on putting all of his energy into battling it out on the WQS.  "I knew if I didn't go to school right away I could easily get sucked into never wanting to go back, but I figured it would be smarter to get my degree out of the way first.  I didn't really plan on competing when I graduated, but I have been doing really well in the collegiate series and the job market is pretty meager at the moment, so I don't really have a lot to lose." In a few short weeks he is off to Mazatlan to compete, followed by a string of travel and competitions.  We wish Hunter all the best in his endeavors...

Came down to the finals with the top 3 girls fighting for the entire season. Winner of the final wins the Championship and the season. Lulu brought it after surfing a total of 7 heats yesterday competing in 3 divisions.

Here's a few pics from my day in the life with Josh Kerr in his new hood Carlsbad, California.
It consisted of surfing, coffee, training session at gym, eating, surfing , table tennis, surfing again and then visited Rusty and crew at surfboard factory to grab a couple new crafts. A big day.

This past weekend the Rusty Boardhouse Team Challenge went down in fun, shoulder high surf on the North side of Scripps Pier. There was a great turn out of local talent that made for a really exciting and close event. The contest had a unique structure... four man teams where chosen at random in the morning, consisting of two groms and two adults. The event was tag team style and points were tallied for a winning team. At the end of the day the winning team was The Charlie Sheens, consisting of Jacob Szekely, Bryan Guter, Miles Toner, Jay Christenson. Congrats, each team member won a shaped blank from Rusty Surfboards...
