      @DokeTv I don't want this comment to get lost in the sauce. Here's a little bit of insider knowledge from the construction world. Plywood. I noticed you were extending from the road. Most likely for solid ground. Sand is sketchy to work from in a man lift. It gets stuck, sinks, and would possibly tip over. If you or the owner of the lot of the fenced in area were worried about that. 3/4 inch plywood is your solution 1 sheet per wheel is enough surface tension to keep you level. You could literally lay them out from one end of your working area to the other, probably like 10-20 sheets. They're reusable, and it allows you to go cheaper on the lift your using. Instead of a 100 foot actuation boom you can get a 50.

    Honestly I think this may be one of your best yet. From concept to execution it feels tight and you did an amazing job with the scale , but more importantly the feeling of volume with that wave. Probably my favorite of yours. Definitely need a Hawaii mural and surf trip. Also, I hear 10hundred has a lot of walls that need painting at his new warehouse...
