Rusty Miller's early, regular foot surfing had competitive roots with Duke finals in '67 and '68, but quickly went brand ambassador with a national Hamm's Beer billboard ad, bombing down a sunset monster. Earning a history degree and traveling the world landed him in Australia and Indonesia, firmly indoctrinated into surf cinema canon with a featured presence in Morning of the Earth at Uluwatu, by Alby Falzon. Teaching surfing in Byron Bay and hanging with his wife, Tricia (alumni of Surf Stories Podcast), and his two daughters' families, is his latest masterpiece. Enjoy this chat with Rusty.
