Meet our shapers

Rusty Surfboards has a longstanding reputation for building high quality performance driven surfboards. Rusty Preisendorfer heads up his team of established innovative designers and shapers that includes Rick Hamon, Hoy Runnels, Pedro Battaglin and Clint Preisendorfer. Working collectively these craftsmen continually strive to refine the Rusty shapes and designs to the highest level of quality and performance. Each Rusty model produced has been researched and tested before being released to our customers. Our boards are handcrafted by our shaping and glassing teams made up of individuals who all excel at their craft. You can rely on the crew at Rusty Surfboards to build your next board and know without a doubt who shaped it.
