30 years ago, 17-year-old Mark Occhilupo erupted onto the world tour. His backside surfing at Jay Bay was, and still is the best ever seen. He stole the spotlight from the era’s most popular surfers, including Tom Curren. And the whole time, he had a Rusty Preisendorfer surfboard under his feet.
It’s now 30 years since Occy’s electric intro into the surfing world, so to celebrate Rusty, Occy & Billabong present the “Rusty 84 model”, an exact replica of Occ’s magic board from 1984.
“I won the OP Pro on it,” remembers Occ. “As soon as I hopped on it, it was just magic.”
This is a limited edition release, so whether you want a piece of history to put on a wall, or you want to paddle out and engage in your best raging bull impersonation, you better get in quick.
Occy replica 84 boards available at selected surf stores from July. For any inquires contact [email protected]
