Indonesian ripper Marlon Gerber has signed a two-year sponsorship deal which will see him continue his relationship with Rusty surfboards and apparel until 2010.
"I've been with Rusty for six years already so we're really tight - pretty much like family" said the stylish regular-foot. "I'm stoked to ride for a growing company that understands what surfers need."
Bali's thriving surf scene has produced a new crop of surfers who are pushing the limits of the sport on a global level. Marlon is riding on the crest of this wave and has been featured regularly in the international surf media as a result.
Marlon will continue to be based in Bali and compete on the Coca-Cola Indonesian Surfing Championship tour. He will also travel the world on surf trips with Rusty's acclaimed International team that includes Jamie O'Brien, Jay Davies, and Josh Kerr.
Back in April Sumbawa's Gazali Hamzah won the Bali Gromfest Series and was awarded a free trip to Oz to compete in the 13th Annual Rusty Gromfest at Lennox Head. The waves were freezing compared to Indo and he got knocked in the 2nd round. He had a good time regardless and made heaps of new friends who are frothing to come to Bali and surf with him. There was beach games with sick prizes up for grabs and to top it all off Jay Davies made an appearance and signed a stack of posters too...
