Rusty Twin- Opinions?
- Thread starter manbearpig
- Start date
I ordered mine online
I wanted epoly and they didn’t have any in stock but they had it shaped in a week
I would say the rails are medium
Definitely not as full as CI rails tend to be for example
I don’t have a problem with fuller rails though
There are several R models I’d like to check out— SD, Blade, Model 8

Wish Rusty would respond to your negative comments .
I doubt he has 6 ghost shapers
He has had some really great ones too

Just for the record, Rusty personally sent me a CAD file before shaping my board, and the board itself turned out exactly as advertised, including the rails and foil. In addition, I was told that the board may take up to 8 weeks because I ordered torsion spring, which is more labor intensive, but the board was delivered less than 3 weeks later.
It was a great ordering experience, and the board itself is flawless.
In terms of Rusty's shaping team, I didn't even ask who would be shaping my board because their roster and QC is impressive.
YMMV, as it does for every custom order of a handcrafted, artisan product.

I know three people that ordered rusty's in the last year. All came as ordered in a very short amount of time with great customer service. My 50 year old buddy rips on his sista brother. 50 years old and riding 26-27 liters.
I've said glowing things as well as negative.Greg Griffin said:
All from direct personal experience.
These guys have their own models under the label:

And I’m saying all of them should be shaping each model to the developed and tested specs that the team agrees to standardize on, No?casa_mugrienta said:
I think Russo shaped my Chew Toy (hand written under the glass) but all the boards have “shaped by R. Preisendorfer” on the stamp graphic with the specs.
I dunno how they do it, I just know Rusty isn't the only one designing boards.92122 said:
For instance Rick Hammon = Heckler , etc.
Similar to CI.
Just my personal opinion here but I’d sell that CI before it takes any more use/damage.manbearpig said:

I think it was him that shaped a twin keel fish they had on display at boardroom a few years back that was one of the best looking boards I've ever seen.
Talked with Hammon the last time I was there. He has been working with Rusty since the beginning.
What I'm either disagreeing with or simply don't understand is why "when you have several guys shaping under a label... you never know what to expect."..??.. Any OTR board you buy from Rusty should follow the same specs, no matter which shaper finished it, and come out basically the same from one board to the next.
Am I wrong?

I'm saying sometimes a shaper has a certain flavor to their boards that you become familiar with.
When you get a lot of guys with various models under the same label you might get multiple flavors.
i.e.
Sharpeye = Marcio Zouvi designing boards in his style
Rusty = Rusty + 5 other guys designing boards each with their own style
Somehow, via GG's sh!t stirring, this morphed into me making a "complaint".
Some of the boards from the Rusty label I've loved - and I've posted glowing reviews and recommendations here.
I've also spoken up about stuff I've not liked.

Hows that for sh!t stirring?
Matt who worked for Eric for 12 years replicated Erics boards daily as he does for Jon now .
Rusty's skilled shapers can and have as well .
When I shaped for Blue Hawaii we all did this for Glen Minami by hand with door planers .
