WATCH: 'As It Is' starring Noah Hill

 

Rusty Surfboards team rider Noah Hill has just released another artfully crafted surf edit.

Split into two acts, the first act is dreary, dark, and onshore, filled with blowtails and dungeon music. Then, as the storm lifts and the wind clocks around, the second act is pure jubilation — aka: loads of tuberiding virtuosity.

Check out the full edit below.

 

 

CURIOUS WHAT NOAH WAS RIDING?

"What is a What?? The What? is Rusty’s version of your standard high performance shortboard. It will perform best in shoulder high to well overhead in better conditions with waves that have more power behind them. The What? has a somewhat narrow nose that travels into a mildly curvy mid-section and then to a slight, elongated bump just after the rear of the front fins in the tail. The overall rocker is fairly aggressive to allow for maximum performance and top to bottom surfing. The bottom is where this board starts testing the waters. It starts off in the tip flat and rapidly deepens into a single concave, this gives the board a lot of speed. At the mid-section, it reduces in depth and then develops into a shallow, slightly hooked, double con, then a slight vee off the tail to allow for rail to rail transitions. The What? is what you’re reaching for when you want maximum performance out of a board whether you're doing turns, airs, or hunting tubes." - Rusty

"The New Traveler is a step-up with a design that sits between the original Traveler and the Blackbird. The crew was headed to Indo and other places with warm water and hollow waves and were in need of a knifey step-up, giving us the New Traveler. It performs great in head high to double overhead in pumping beach breaks and steep, hollow reefs. The New Traveler has a bit more narrow of a nose with more rocker overall and leaner rails with the wide point just behind center. It features a light single to double concave and a slight rounded vee out the tail in the last few inches to help keeping the turns smoother and with rail-to-rail transitions. The New Traveler is clean and simple, the way it should be." - Rusty
