Brand Spotlight
Rusty
Rusty Preisendorfer is considered a legend among surfboard shapers, and the brand is regarded as one of the most successful surfboard labels in the world. Even before founding his own brand, Rusty, in 1985 in San Diego, California, he shaped boards for numerous other brands and champions. His fashion brand also achieved worldwide success before the label became somewhat quieter in Europe for a while. Today, Rusty has returned with renewed momentum and fresh energy.
A strong brand collaboration for a broad customer segment. The partnership between Rusty and Torq has created a collection that combines the high-quality shapes of a renowned surf brand with Torq’s durable and cost-effective construction. Rusty contributes its iconic designs, while Torq brings them to life using modern epoxy technology. The result is a range of high-performance, long-lasting boards with excellent value for money – perfect for retailers looking to offer a versatile and brand-strong product lineup.
“This partnership opens a new chapter for Rusty Surfboards and Torq Surfboards. With our combined experience in shaping and board technology we aim to make the Rusty x Torq models the best boards on the market.”
