Tank's approved surfboard above came a long way. Looking at these designs below, using his tatoo patterns and very fancy colored boards were tried. But the simpler "Jaws" motif was decided to be the best route to go.
The Japanese surfer's board was a hoot. I started with the obvious - Japanese WW2 patterns. I thought I hit the homerun till our senior 3d visdev modeler, Takao, said this could be very offensive to our Japanese friends. So I went for the high tech penguin version of a surf board which the directors liked. The characters painted on the board (which ended up on the big screen) means "Hannah Rules" - Hannah is my oldest daughter.
We have an Australian dude named Rory which the board design was based from aboriginal tribal patterns on boomerangs.
Last one on the list was the Brazilian surfer whose board has a shark bite. I love how it ended up on he big screen when art director Ron Lukas added loose shark teeth still embedded on the board.

It definitely looks like you had fun doing that! :) Gorgeous work on shapes and textures.
Oh I wish I could surf one day, don't really have big waves in Italy...well don't have big sharks either...
These are great Armand, I already loved so much the display of designs
you came up with for the boards back then, and I still think they are sensational!
Awesome work, sir, amazing shapes and cool designs on all the boards!!
Great stuff, your posts are really impressive and interesting. Thanks!
Go Armand! These are absolutely beautiful designs. I love the sharkbite board. Seems so...so...I dunno it just seems so fitting that sharks would try to eat that. And the Japanese surfer penguin's board is a scream. My favourite bit is 'Water jets out here while skiing'. I'd want a surfboard like that too!
We can surf here actually...hmm. Nah. Better stick to fencing; there are no sharks in that (except people with pointy objects.)

I love these designs, Armand! I wish Tatsui's board could've had the big unveiling like they had in the plans at one point, 'cause it's so cool.
I love that you got a shout out to your daughter in the movie. I did too, but I'm not telling you where!
