Rusty established his reputation in the 80's as one of the most high profile and influential shapers in the world, and in turn has provided the winning craft for many of the world's Top 44 during the last two decades, including Mark Occhilupo, the Hobgoods, and more recently free surfing freaks Jamie O'Brien, Josh Kerr and Jay Davies.

As a shaper, Preisendorfer deserves credit for perfecting the modern thruster as we know it.  Subtle variations are all that separate the current standard from his early 80's models.  The boxy rails that are so commonplace today were the benchmark of Occy's boards during his phenomenal run as a teenager.  Despite Preisendorfer's status as a premier shortboard shaper, he feels his biggest contribution has been his dedication to the average surfer.

Sitting comfortably amongst the 'best in the business', including fellow shaping pioneers Simon Anderson, Al Merrick, and Eric Arakawa, Rusty continues to work closely with Aido in developing the Rusty Surfboards Global Program, and in pushing the envelope in both design innovation and manufacturing processes.
