The Rusty Enough Said is a proven high-performance shortboard (HPSB) design developed in collaboration with Josh Kerr over a decade ago—and it remains a favorite for good reason. This thumb-tail performance board excels in chest-high to overhead surf, delivering a blend of smooth, responsive turns and confident pocket performance.
The Enough Said features a relaxed, proven nose rocker paired with a heavy single concave through the back half, creating lift and drive down the line. To complement this, the tail rocker is slightly mellowed, balancing speed with control. The volume is carefully distributed, with a bit less under the chest to reduce swing weight, allowing quicker rail-to-rail transitions.
Its elliptical thumb tail and subtle extra tail curve produce a tight, smooth turning radius, enabling rapid response and quick adjustments in critical sections. Though the design is over ten years old, it remains a valid and relevant high-performance shortboard option—especially for surfers seeking a reliable board that excels in a range of solid surf conditions.
Pros:
Proven, versatile design well-suited for chest-high to overhead waves.
Relaxed nose rocker and deep single concave generate speed and lift.
Elliptical thumb tail enhances control and sharp, tight turns.
Balanced volume distribution reduces swing weight for quicker responsiveness.
Cons:
Tailored for performance; may feel less forgiving for beginners.
Less suited for very small or mushy conditions.
Summary:
The Rusty Enough Said stands the test of time as a sharp, dependable high-performance shortboard. With its smooth rocker profile, deep concave, and thumb tail design, it offers surfers a balanced ride—fast, responsive, and precise in powerful surf. More than a decade after its creation, Enough Said remains a go-to board for those wanting proven performance in chest to overhead waves.
