a6t the tips make clouds then as you go down fade into mountains, then like foothills for mountain biking and skating, then down to the coast for surfing with fish and ocean on the back tips and you could put elevation markers all the way down them

my current idea is like a topographic map up top fading into an old explorer map fading into like a road map maybe, with tracks of some sort going through all of it. its not final at all but just throwing it out there

Try to make the graphic have clear sections in it so you can see the wood underneath.

take the map of your favourite mountain or something and if you could put it onto the ski it would look sorta dope, or like a rocky top the slowly the trees become more and more dense as you get lower on the ski

this is what i did when i made my pair of skis, wasnt that big of a design, i just drew a whale from haida and cut it out and put it in during the press process. turned out pretty cool.

Would be sick if you did these designs on the ski.. made it look as if the ski was just an old class notebook, even with all the lines on the paper and holes and stuff

Im doing this also

For mine its an arctic scene with a walrus wearing a top hat and monacle chillin and a polar bear looking over the edge of the ice at a fish jumping out of the water, and then out of the depths a killer whale is coming up for the fish and on the noses it says 'lets party'

Still need an idea for the tails though kinda want to keep the theme goin

That will be crazy sweet if it's on a black background with neon pink/green/yellow/blue for the maps etc. White for the mountaintops.

another Idea that pooped into my mind was goin with that earlier post and incorporating haida art. it's been done before ( on heads?) but it looks fresh.

How about a "make your own design"

White topsheet + a free sharpie when you buy the skis

you can copy my designs if you want or make something similar. what i think would be cool is barbed wire turning into a rose as it goes down the ski.

How about a pair of hunter orange skis? You would always be able to find them in the ski rack.
