The Chupacabra is an easy to paddle, high volume grovel model which includes a pure Venturi channel. The low rocker with subtle concaves allows this board to maintain plenty of speed in weaker waves.

Rusty Surfboards
One of the foremost authority on surfing is the recognisable Rusty Surfboards, which is well-known worldwide for their belief in great shaping, alive-feeling surfboards, and the ongoing advancement of surfing.
By the middle of the 1980s, the iconic Rusty logo had taken on a life of its own thanks to the additions of Dave Parmenter and a young Mark Occhilupo. In 1985 Rusty Surfboards was founded.
Rusty quickly became the most sought-after shaper and was being used by more than half of the top surfers in the world. Since then, Rusty Surfboards has expanded into one of the largest brands in surfing.
