Congrats to Rusty team riders Mikey Ciaramella and Jack Brandon for blowing up at the NSSA contests on both coasts!

Mikey Ciaramella pushed his way through to make the final and take the win at the NSSA College Men's state Championships this weekend in HB, taking down a list of talented surfers to take home the trophy! This is one of the biggest wins of Mikey's surfing career and we're stoked everyone got to see what Mikey can put together during a heat.

Jack Brandon also flared up in the water over the weekend taking a 1st place, and 3rd place win in his respective divisions at the NSSA contest in Florida. Jack spent the day battling weak surf and the blazing sun to take home the win. He was able to link enough together to get the points and make it through, look for him to keep the results showing up into the Easterns coming up in 2 weeks!

The Quick pro kicked off yesterday afternoon at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast in Australia. Rusty team rider Josh Kerr will be competing in the event against the top surfers in the world as they kick off the 2013 WCT season. Kerrzy's local knowledge and wave selection will be key during the comp to push through the heats, and post the scores to get the points.

Check out these sweet clips from Rusty team rider Mikey Ciaramella from his recent south of the border adventure in Baja Mexico. Mikey grew up chasing hurricane surf in Jersey, but is currently living in San Diego California, and is enjoying taking full advantage of being able to make the trek passed the border for some uncrowded point break waves, and authentic baja tacos!

Enjoy and get amped....

Looking for a new shape to bring some fun back into your session and put a smile on your face? Say hello to The Happy Shovel from Rusty!

Introducing the newest edition to the quiver, this small wave board is ideal for that knee to shoulder high day. Its limits are yet to be determined. Think low volume but high surface area.

The Happy Shovel paddles and planes with ease, combining a double-barrel concave and short board rails, the board allows you to whip it around on a dime! We designed it with the five fin setup for even more versatility so you can ride it as a quad or a thruster.

Our team riders across the globe have been giving the Happy Shovel two thumbs up… a fun board to surf!

Serving the Gulf Coast’s boarding needs for over 40 years! Innerlight's goal is to truly earn the title as The Surfer’s Surf Shop.

Started in 1969 by founder Yancy Spencer (who changed the name to Innerlight in 1972), Innerlight grew from a 400 sq ft cinder block building…into 5 locations from Gulf Shores, AL to Destin, FL.  Yancy co-owned Innerlight with his brother JB (Spencer) Schluter. They have grown up with the surf industry and  know products and services inside out and strive to be on the cutting edge of the latest trends and technologies.

Yancy passed away in February of 2011 after surfing all day at one of his favorite spots in California.  Since then the torch has been passed on to his family to continue in the same path. Innerlight is very involved with it’s community and sponsors many events, schools, and teams.  Stop by any location and you will see why many people see Innerlight as a second home.
