Nate Yeomans cause he rips when he surfs all waves and is in some of my favourite surfing footage clips.
Jay Davies just keeps on rippin the waves. His cut backs are insane as and he digs them real hard and pushes the limits.
Jake Sharpe young up and coming Australian grom, obvious choice!
Marlon Gerber, he just goes with the flow and is an amazing surfer!!
Josh Kerr cause he has no limits !
Nate Yeomans coz hes goofy, loves mexican food and goes banannas for waves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karlee Mackie!!! We need more of those free surfing, world traveling artists. They can do a lot for our sport, for environment and entertainment. Go for Kalm!
my favorite riders is Nicolas capdeville ! because it’s a frensh guys and i’m fensh too and he from Mimizan in the atlantic coast in the south france and i from mimizan TOO! it’s awesome to have a professional rider at mimizan and rusty have to come here
Vincent Duvignac, he stands for the place where I first get in touch with that wonderful sport. Saw him in Biarritz 2008, smooth surf! By the way he shows that european surfers don`t have to hide anymore behind the big surfing nations! Go Vincent!
Josh Kerr is soooo smooth…
Josh Kerr, a great surfer and has short hair
Kerrsy because he rips so hard it looks like a dog chewed it!
Josh Kerr is the best Rusty ambassador. He is the perfect example that the boards work as he is pushing the limits of modern surfing.
Jay Davies is my favorite rusty team rider , cause…
I LOVE HIS NIPPLES !!! :p
Rusty team rider.. I have to say its always been Nate Yeomans, I google him, I youtube video him.. but I still, can never get enough of his surfing, he inspires me to go out the back and surf all day. He is a really skilled man, and his surfing.. Well.. its just amazing.. come on.
It’s got to be the infamous Chris Ward. Where’s Wardo? Who even knows who he rides for now.. whether he rides at all? But one thing we know, he is raw, no limits and bloody rips; and ripped the most when he was on the Rusty team!
As a father it has to be James & Thomas Woods, both kids rip in different ways. James the solid barrel rider and Thomas the air freak, check them out on the latest top 100 grom vid. And yeah the surfboard looks good. Cheers.
Josh kerr because he keeps at it and my first surfboard was his signature model board. It was aas awesome as him!!!
Josy Kerr spends more time out of the water than in it, the guy should be sponsored by The Bull as well. He has more air time than most birds….He diffidently has wings……….
Jayke Sharp…
up and coming dude that will def go places. Check out some of his free surfing… very sharp!
Karlee Mackie
Cause shes “THE PERFECT PACKAGE”!
A hot down to earth chick, who knows how to ..RIP IT UP!!!
Josh Kerr, because I saw him riding those small waves at the Quicksilver Pro in Portugal and it is just amazing how he ripped them. Never met such a “down-to-earth” surfer before… my new idol when it comes to surfing!!!
Karlee Mackie because she’s got the life, talent, body and spirit anyone would dig, and i dooooo!
RUSTY PUNCHY!! What a grade-A doll ay? Oh the shenanigans you could get up to with a mate like that!
Karlee Mackie is both the art and the science behind the wave, karlee epitimises what it is to love the surf, the sand and the free spirit of all australians
Kyle McCarthy
He’s a bigger rider and pretty down to earth for an older guy
And he’s from the EAST coast!!
Nate Yeomans for selfish reasons. I scored one of his boards at easter and it was absolutely magic. I sadly snapped it at beacon and am still devastated. Yeomans has great style, does big airs-and uses great equipment!!
jay Davies
i love the way he surfs does mad tricks and airs and has been my favourite surfer since i started.
Josh Kerr, because he goes all out and he has an insane and awesome drive, and his cut backs are sick, he’s awesome
I have to give it to Josh Kerr, I feel he has a unity with the way he can push around his weight in turns with style, while also having unbelievable control with airs. he really connects a skate style well. Really inspiring to watch him connect it all together.
thanks !
Josh Kerr is my favourite because of his no holds barred approach every time he hits the surf.
As someone who has surfed and seen most of the elite surfers for the last forty years i must say that Jaime O ,Brien rates highly for his take no prisoners attitude on any wave that he surfs.
Josh Kerr is definitely a favorite, best big wave ripper and his part in the film changes is my all time psych up to go surfing.
Josh Kerr – I like his flick: Catch me if you can… That sounds like a interesting challenge with my new Custom Rusty Surfboard…
Damon, because he can get stand up barrels when it is 2 foot and he is heaps better than Ryan Bautista.
josh kerr because he is my favorite surfer. his kerazy flip is just not human! it is the most insane radical move ever. he rips.
the great man j. kerr took out slater in that air show he rips!and flies! tear it up JK
Josh Kerr- Is really alive when surfing and that’s what it’s all about
damien fahrenfort- as he has a free flowing style, and values his friends and family heaps as they have made him what he is today!
I have to vote for Jay Davies because he is only 22 and one of the best riders i have seen in my life, i really like his style just kinda laid back, a great pro surfer!
josh kerr because the way he surfs its psychedelic
i think josh kerr is the best because he rips the waves to pieces. i want this board so badly.
josh kerr is the greatest surfer. he can really carve right into the waves. he is also a great backhand rider. i wish i was like Josh kerr.
p.s i’m twelve and surf every morning. my dad is making me save up for a new board.
josh kerr is the most Radical surfer ever.
my dad makes me use his old robert augest. i need this board.
Jayke Sharpe for sure! He knows what’s going on. Not only has he got the sickest air reverse and a killer style, he’s downright funny bugger too – check his section on the Hottest 100. Frother
Jay Davies, for certain! He makes surfing look like the life it used to be back in the day. When my old man cranked out 900 odd foot of pine with the biggest afro a white man was legally allowed back then. Cruised yet technical surfer. Number one in my book.
too easy! josh kerr. always froths out and has sick style. can do monster airs and link them together with some solid turns. just an awesome surfer who represents what surfins all about.
Jay Davies his sick aeriels makes surfing a joy to watch his surfing is so clean makes it look to easy definetly my number 1!!!!!!!!!!!
current rusty rider fav is nate yeomans
Nate Yeomans , RULES ! ! ! !
Josh Kerr is just awesome
Josh Kerr. Sick aerials, what more can I say?
My favourite is Nate Yeomans too!!
Josh Kerr. WOW. Need I say more? Just AMAZING!
Josh Kerr cos I’m a sheep-dawg!
my favorite rusty surfer is Josh Kerr just cause he is awesome as!
i’ll go for Jayke Sharp cos he’s a young Aussie. i really liked the moves he pulled on Rush TV a while ago. i think he could be a contender for the world champion title in a few years!
Sick of my Dora the Explorer boggieboard!…=P wanna be pro like Nate Yeomans
Marlon Gerber because he he has a fishy name.
Jayke Sharp!!!- Anyone who can wear a mostly white wetsuit and pull it off has my vote. Not to mention he drinks carlton draft and listens to old punk music!!! need i say more………
josh kerr his huge punts are off the charts.
Josh Kerr. Should’ve been a pilot he spends so much time in the air. He could also have been a bird. Not an emu but a bird that flies, like a pterodactyl. He’s good in the air and in the water so maybe he should’ve been a bird that does both, like a Kingfisher or a Gannet. Is he amphibious? Surely he has gills. He gets some good barrells too, so maybe he should’ve been wine or whiskey. Maybe whiskey becasue he is a smooth cat. Josh Kerr is a prehistoric-amphibious-flying-feline of some description. Definitely Josh Kerr!
Josh Kerr because he is really down to earth and very inspirational. He is also a awesome surfer!!!
josh kerr because he is a fantastic sufer great role model and pushes as hard as he can
Jake sharp, he is and awsome young ripper that shreds and will end up on the ASP hoppfully. I LOVE RUSTY
Josh Kerr just cause he is killing and representing for the young blokes round the world yeeeew frother!!!
jay davies cause he has the best style ive ever seen i love it he nuts and he surfs for rusty and rusty is the best .
Josh Kerr of course he rips and created the Kerrupt Flip!!!!!
Josh Kerr,
cause when i met him he was a major sweet dude and was my inspiration to start surfing, Major sick dude, not to mention he rips up.
Josh Kerr 4 eva dudesssss
Josh Kerr, because he lives life to the max and has no limits.
Josh Kerr- The only thing about his style that’s Rusty is his board
My birthday is coming up pretty shortly 50th what better way to celebrate it than to learn to surf…@:-)
My favourite Rusty team rider would easily be Kerzy (Josh Kerr) because he’s from tweed (AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!) and he’s got a good personality as well as being an awesome surfer!(:
Josh Kerr ofcourse because whats surfing without him?
