After doing some research into the history of skateboarding and skateboards, I've decided to create my board design based on the only female skater from the legendary Dogtown Zephyrs, Peggy Oki (who's also a well known surfer and artist).
Here's a picture of the initial drawing for the board, based on photos of Peggy and video clips.
If you haven't seen the documentary, "Dogtown and Z-boys" you should check it out. It provides a beautiful look into the evolution of skateboarding from surfing, via the dogtown zephyrs, who were well known for skateboarding in empty pools.
