The Rusty Rooster was born from a creative “what if” dialogue among the team, taking inspiration from the Hustler but evolving into its own distinct model. With significant tweaks to the outline, rocker, and venturi configuration, the Rooster was designed to excel in rounder, softer waves while still maintaining strong performance in everyday surf conditions.
This thoughtful redesign results in a board that feels more playful and responsive in less critical, curvier waves, without sacrificing drive or control. Its shape and bottom contours allow it to glide smoothly through mellow sections yet stay lively and quick when the face steepens.
True to its name—after a loud and proud Jersey Giant Rooster—it’s a board that stands out and asserts itself in any lineup, making noise with its versatility and fun factor.
Pros:
Adjusted outline and rocker improve performance in rounder, softer waves.
Venturi bottom configuration enhances speed and smooth flow.
Versatile enough for everyday surf with a playful, responsive feel.
Unique personality and character reflected in its bold design.
Cons:
May not have the raw drive or precision of the Hustler in more critical surf.
Designed with softer waves in mind—might feel less aggressive in steep, hollow conditions.
Summary:
The Rusty Rooster is a smart, playful evolution of the Hustler that thrives in rounder, less powerful waves without losing performance in everyday surf. With its refined rocker, outline, and venturi bottom, it offers speed, flow, and responsiveness for surfers who want a lively board that adapts to a variety of conditions. Loud, proud, and fun—just like its namesake.
