I've been thinking about that paint scheme for over a year now. Kinda like the measuring setup they use on the bridges here. Very similar to the pic you posted.
In fact if you check my build thread you'll see a pic I posted about that same idea.

The biggest thing that got in my head was getting hurt. IT DOES NOT HURT TO PANCAKE. When you make it its butter smooth, and when you don't you just try again. A few cold ones will take that edge off of being scared (by no means do it hammered)... Zeroclient on here tried a few last time he went to the surf with us. And he is on his first year of riding. He is ready to try again next weekend. Pretty sure slicing your hand open on a zip tie while working on your ski is more painful than a failed flip..... DO. NOT. LET. GO.

SO FAR CHANGE SUCKS!!!!!!
^^ lol I disagree. poop starts to hurt when your above 10-15 ft. Coming in at slightly less than 3/4 is a mofo
Broke my wrist pancaking, I'm with Brian, it can really hurt, I'd rather come in upside down!

stop over-thinking the trick, stop thinking about not getting hurt. Get out and do it... once you get one complete, you will know the feeling... then start flipping off everything you can find and it will become second nature.
IMO over-thinking will psych you out every time.

Sorry, just go for it, once you get past the first solid attempt without bailing, you will feel like its a lot easier from that point onwards.
Persevere with it and you will get it done!

Surf has been nonexistent the last two weeks...killing me! Future forecasts don't look promising either.
