I'm uploading a picture of a short board shape. The importance of research and understanding the subject when creating caricature drawings. Exaggeration is funny, mistakes in detail aren't. For example: Most competition surfers ride "short boards" proportionately they are a bit shorter than the surfer. A 6ft tall surfer will ride a board about 5ft 8inches long. So in your drawings unless the surfer is well known for riding ridiculously short boards the board should be proportionately accurate. Also the short board has a pointed front the long board is rounded, seeing a competition surfer like Mick Fanning on a round nose board is not amusing it's inaccurate. Obviously there is artistic licence when there are exceptions if emphasizing a humorous incident or characteristic.

  Take a look at the excellent participating artists. If you are waiting for guarantees in this life, you're going to be doing a lot of waiting around.
