Summary

I don’t even know where to start with this guy... The "Bone Crusher"! Rusty Malinoski is a name that is not going anywhere any time soon. He is here on a mission, and that mission is to be the greatest wakeboarder of all time. After only 3 years on tour, three 1080’s and more titles than you can imagine, he is well on his way to complete that mission. Rusty has taken riding to the next level and he is a very motivational part of Team Hyperlite. He rides 5 times a day, works out, cross trains and mentally focuses on his goals. Something that you might not know by looking at him is that he is the friendliest guy you will ever meet. He is the type of guy that would give the shirt off his back to help someone. Rusty has brought so much already to Team Hyperlite and we are looking forward to what else may come.
