Rusty Malinoski

Age: 26

Nationality: USA

Originally hailing from Canada, this powerhouse of a wakeboarder has been destroying the competitive scene over the past couple of years. Rusty has arguably the most consistent 1080 of any rider, which he demonstrated by sticking the full three-rotations at the Pro Tour stop in Reno last summer. Easily mistaken for a cage fighter, Rusty will be charging for the win this year at Wakestock.
