Rusty has been a San Diego icon for 50 years and counting. His precision surfboards have been under the feet of some of history's greatest surfers.

In the current episode of David Scales Podcast, Surf Splendor, Rusty joins David to explain how his MIT mathematician father’s missive to follow his passion led him to art school and then to surfboards.

In the pod, you'll hear how R-Dot learned how to push past moments of self-doubt, the secret to unlock Occy’s ’84 Thruster, the perils of licensing deals, and why some of the best design developments come from mistakes.

Enjoy!
