Hey, you want a Rusty x Billabong Occy 84 Model?

Thirty years ago, a cocky 17-year-old erupted onto the world tour. His backside surfing at J-Bay was, and still is, the best ever seen. He stole spotlight from the era’s most popular surfer, Tom Curren (and even in the American’s home country). And the whole time, Mark ‘Occy’ Occhilupo had a Rusty Preisendorfer surfboard under his feet. It’s now been 30 years since Occy’s electric intro to the surfing world, and to celebrate, Rusty and Billabong present the descendant of Occy’s magic board; an exact replica of the ’84 model, complete with retro Rusty and Billabong logos. It’s an anniversary gift, but also a little slice of history. Because, perfection endures. Now, we’re giving you the chance to win a limited edition Rusty x Billabong Occy ’84 Model. Follow @rusty_australia and @stabsurf on Instagram, then repost this image with #winoccy – we’re worldwide on this one, and the winner will be announced Friday, September 5. Head to our Instagram for more details. See how well this thing goes under the feet of Josh Kerr, Noa Deane, Jay Davies and, of course, Occy, in the clip above.
