Buck Shot

The Rusty Dwart has been a mainstay in the Rusty range for nearly a decade. We can’t really build a “better Dwart”, in fact plenty of people have tried and failed. Yet, with so many satisfied repeat customers we decided it was time to expand the family…Introducing the Dwart Too. The Dwart Too redirects the original mission a little bit, and refines a well-tuned machine into a precision alternative.

In 2014 Rusty Preisendorfer hooked up with Mark “Occy” Occhilupo and did a 100 board reissue of his famous signature “84” model. A year ago Rusty started getting asked to lean out the nose and lose the beak. In addition, he modernised the bottom slightly. The surfers who tried them freaked. Since then Rusty has made them with 4 deep channels. He also decided to give a very modern bottom with a deep single to double concave a shot. Bottom line is that virtually anyone that has tried any of the different bottoms has been psyched and some have also ordered them longer as well.

The Chupacabra is a high volume groveler with a pure Venturi channel with no spine (the stringer stays up high at the center) to create speed. The board has very low rocker with a very light concave running through the center to flat in between the fins ending onto a very light vee at the end of the tail. It has a very high and pronounced wing that breaks the outline flow creating a quick turning point. The tail is a generous round with planning surface, and yet tight turning arcs in the pocket.

We consider the Chew Toy to be the ideal “step-up groveler or hybrid”, as it will handle a much broader range of waves and conditions than most other boards in those categories. Derived from our long time favorite “Piranha”, The Chew Toy features a few modern tweaks to improve the performance and versatility.

The idea behind the Torsion Spring is to create a one piece hull where the left side talks to the right side with dynamic flex without losing kinetic energy from the wave. This core gives you the quiet, smooth, feeling of a polyurethane board but the lightness of an EPS board. Fully waterproof, if you get a small ding, you don’t have to worry about ending your session. The carbon kevlar tape we use along the rail in this I-Beam construction resists buckling and really helps you load up on any turn and helps you harness that energy without losing any of it. We use Biaxial cloth to increase compression resistance without noticeably affecting the flex. Rusty’s Torsion Spring is a technology that you can apply to just about any model we make.

New in 2017, the Heckler is a Fish with some new ideas. We’ve utilized a “fishy” outline with a shallow dovetail and pronounced wing to produce a lightning fast small wave wonder. The proven Venturi bottom design that has been so well received on two of our other models, The Rooster and The Hustler, adds a new dimension for fishing and Fish lovers.

The Mi Amigo is a high performance board with an old foil revisited. The rocker is relaxed at both ends and the template has a 2.5 inch difference in width between the nose and tail. The bottom features a light single concave that is deepest between the feet, approximately 0.15 inches.

The Slayer has been a favorite for 10+ years. From time to time we’ve been asked if we could make it a little looser off the top and bottom. Thus, the Slayer 2. The Slayer 2 has the wide point pulled back towards the midpoint. This tends to pull in the nose and give more curve to the tail section. It has slightly more rocker on both ends and has a light double barrel vee (Slayer 1 has a single concave).

The new “SD” or, San Diego shortboard, is designed to be the ideal go-to shortboard for Southern California. The “SD” performs well in everything from the softer beachbreaks of Del Mar and Leucadia to the hollow reef breaks of La Jolla and Sunset Cliffs. Because of the versatility of the SD design it is the ideal one board quiver for a trip to anywhere on the East Coast.

If you’re a fan of speed…The Big Block can find speed on the most humble, meek and meager little waves. The Big Block is a high volume surfboard with massive surface area that can generate speed easily and effortlessly through any section. Offered in all our constructions but preferred in our stringerless EPS/Epoxy, the Big Block model includes grab rails for strength and a carbon strip along the center of the bottom. Big Block versatility is increased by utilizing a tri-fin box system that works well with either a traditional thruster fin setup or the T1 Twin fin with trailer.

Model 8 is an update from the 2016 best seller Sista Brotha model. A high performance board with a low rocker thru out the front creating extra speed and drive combined with a single concave, full forgiving rails and some extra tail rocker kick to help find those tight pockets but still allows you to drive on open faces. AVAILABLE WITH OR WITHOUT THE FLAME LOGO

Rusty designed and built a Twin Fin for Josh Kerr just prior to a trip to Norcal... to say Josh loved it is putting it mildly. Starting with a template Rusty used in the 70's & 80's while working with Shaun Tomson as his base Rusty refined the bottom with the addition of a shallow single concave that feeds into the vee.

The Piranha was one of our most popular designs. It was primarily built for small surf, but it ended up being a very versatile board. We have re-tooled this design with a clean, full, round pin, and are calling it the Smoothie. It has a timeless outline designed to accommodate a wide range of conditions. The bottom starts with a slight roll in the nose transitioning to a light single through the center. This shallow single blends into a sunken double concave in front of the fins and an elevated double concave between the fins that finally ends in a double barrel vee of the tail. If you can’t appreciate the tech talk, just know that the board surfs fast & smooth. NOTE: This price does not include a spray colour. You can add a colour in the check out for +$50

How do you tweak/re-invent our best seller “The Magic Door”?……Well we’ve widened the entire board, pulled the nose back slightly and filled up the rails to create a fuller rolled deck. To meet today’s market we put a wider point in front of the fins with a curvier outline through to a tasty swallow tail for maximum drive and hold in the summer waves…. The rocker/concave combo’s are untouched as it’s a proven award winning formula…. If you’ve been a fan of the Magic Door you won’t go wrong jumping on a Revolving Door! YEWWWWW

The Enough Said has a moderate tail rocker with a generous nose rocker designed to work from small to medium good quality waves. It features a straight plan shape for increased acceleration and drive. The bottom has a medium single concave throughout the board. This board is fast and loose and a good performer in everyday conditions.

This performance short board excels in all conditions from beach breaks to point breaks and even on reefs – it’s the perfect all-rounder. The Rusty Sista Brotha board features a single concave, moderate entry rocker and a low tail rocker with a fuller rail, making this a lively board.

The Black Diamond construction combines a stringerless EPS core, unique carbon fibre reinforced rails and bottom with epoxy resins. The reinforcement combines a 1 ounce diagonal strand with nylon bi-axial vertical and horizontal strands. This combination creates a light, strong board with a lively flex pattern. The feedback from teamriders has been that the boards feel fast, loose and drivey. The Black Diamond construction is offered across the whole Rusty range and will give a fresh feel to your favourite Rusty design.

Developed for the bigger days chasing down peaks in open waters and battling currents, it is the perfect wave-hawking weapon. It features added volume, an area-forward outline, lower entry rocker and a light vee in the nose, allowing it to paddle into anything, even in the toughest of surf conditions. With a slight single to double concave bottom running through the fins and rounded pintail, the Blackbird delivers smooth transitions and fast, clean lines.

Introducing the newest edition to the Rusty 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. This board paddles and planes with ease. Combine the double-barrel concave and short board rails and it allows you to whip it around on a dime. We designed it with the five fin setup for even more versatility. Our team riders across the globe have been giving the Happy Shovel two thumbs up… a fun board to surf.

Built for conditions the world over, from point breaks to beach breaks and everything in between. The Kerrosover has a single concave, pulled down rails and we have added volume under the chest for extra paddle power. Good all round board.

The Buckshot is our new hi-fi modern short board model. It is slightly wider in the nose with a fuller squash tail with the pod around 7-8 inches. The entry rocker is relaxed but the tail rocker is increased giving you more speed and drive off the bottom and maximum release with little effort off the top. Due to these combinations you can order this in your standard short board dimension and reap the benefits.

The Magic Thumb is a carbon copy of our most successful model, the Magic Door, but with a smooth, round tail. The slight hip in the tail assists in turns and takes out that full square tail look giving you a smoother rail to rail transition. All design aspects.... Rockers, concaves and rails are all the same as the Magic Door.

The Magic Door is the latest trend to hit the market at the minute! Its basically a squashed down short board with a flatter rocker and a slight double inside a deep single starting at the entry giving you instant high speed to get you moving through the small waves. Because it has a fuller foil through the chest and tail you won't bog and you can ride the Magic Door 3-5 inches shorter! A favourite amongst our team and a finalist in the 2012 Surf Industry Awards.

This is the gotta-have board in your travel quiver. The Traveler is a design that is geared towards waves with some solid push but is still a good ride in the medium stuff.

Ok, thank you Kelly for the inspiration. Start with a board designed as a next one up and take 4" off the front end. The wide point is now 2" forward of center instead of 2" back. Add a touch of width to the center. Re-blend everything so the front end has a little fuller nose and relaxed rocker. It paddles well, makes the drop and fits because it's shorter. The back end of the board is meant for better waves. Pulling the wide point forward gives you a rail line that feels a little longer yet offers you more control with less board up front. Lots of R&D last summer. Pros and bros slayin dragons and draining dungeons in Mex, South Pacific and Indo. Feedback is super positive. Little tool, big job.
