This board is super versatile, good in a variety of waves up to 6ft, creates plenty of speed, I tend to ride it as quad and it has plenty of drive off back rail and pretty responsive if you want to release the tail. I’d recommend, one of my fav boards I’ve owned.

It was a good board to have some fun on. Very easy to paddle out with a semi high volume of 32L for the 5”7 board. It felt very quick down the line of the wave and was very easy to turn. I really liked this board, as it is a great board to have some fun on smaller waves.

Good board. Paddles great. Fast board. Came with a deep single concave all the way through to a very slight double under the fins. Gets a bit loose above head high. Only let down is the glassing. Seems to ding pretty easily in places.

This board is sick! Really responsive, drivey and fast. Artwork looks awesome. Suits high performance style surfing.

Really good board, surfs amazing in small beaches and reef breaks. Taken it to Fiji a few times and it hasn’t snapped yet. Fast and good on the rails.

I bought a custom carbon wrap and have had it for 2 months. This is my 4th DMS. The construction is bloody amazing and the thing goes like a rocket. Usually these stumpy little numbers are funky on your backhand but not with the gherkin, it’s been sick. Great 1-3 foot groveller. Definitely recommend a gherkin in your hamburger quiver. Scotty

I love the look on the board couldn’t ask for a better foamie that rips on the lip and flys through the barrel honestly love it and recommend it

Fantastic board in all conditions allowing sharp easy turns. More volume could help, but that's probably just me getting old

Great to paddle, drops in nicely and builds speed QUICK. Rails hold nice for a short wide board giving confidence when it’s steeper. As a quad this board is super fun, I am extremely happy with my purchase!

This is the first Rusty board that I have owned, so I didn't have any preconceived expectations as to the build quality and finish of the Rusty product. As soon as I unpacked the Heckler, I was stoked. It looked right; it felt right. You could tell straight away this was a top shelf product. It felt it was a bit of a shame to fit it out with the tail pad, leggie, fins and the first coat of wax. That feeling evaporated on the first wave. It glided in effortlessly. A quick response off the bottom set up the rest of the wave. This board is so versatile. I'm looking forward to pushing this board to find its limits. It will probably be my limits reached first..HA!
