What's your current Rusty quiver consist of?
My Rusty quiver is made up of about three 5'3 varying Fishes, 419 and the Mod Fish included. I also have been loving my 5'7 Hifi Twin.
Out of those, what are you riding the most and why?
I'm mostly riding the Fish.It's magic and handles in heavy conditions. Its got heaps of rive as well.
Inspirations?
My inspirations right now are the people around me. They are all very talented at their own different things and they inspire me every day to keep doing what I enjoy. Sport wise, I love watching Chippa Wilson and Ben Kadow do their thing.
Surprise, surprise?
People don't know that I started surfing really late I guess and I was a drag disciple in the shorey for ages.
