In 1985, Mark Occhilupo takes out Tom Curren to capture his first Op Pro victory. Since Occy was riding a Rusty board, the publicity from this event helps Rusty's popularity soar and he decides to start his own surfboard company. An old friend and Surfing Magazine advertising director Peter Townend helps Rusty develop his new logo - Rusty and the R-dot is born. Paying homage to Rusty Surfboards in this Jump Ship tank top from Rusty featuring screen print graphics of the company's inception date and logos on the left chest and back isn’t only stylish - it's historical!
