About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with the iconic shaper Rusty Preisendorfer @rustysurfboards, a true luminary whose influence spans generations of surfers and board builders. We kick things off with the story of how Rusty and 1976 World Champion Peter “PT” Townend became lifelong friends—an inside look at one of surfing’s great industry relationships.
From there, we dive deep into the craft, culture, and evolution of surfboards. Rusty shares insights from decades in the shaping bay, discussing design philosophy, materials, innovation, and the ever-changing needs of surfers. If you love surfboards, surf history, or just hearing from one of the sport’s most important figures, this episode is packed with gems.
