@SURFERMARLY'S IDEA: CUSTOM FOOTER FOR STEEMIT USERS
@surfermarly gave me the idea to try using the card concept to use the card experiments I've done to offer services on steemgigs make a custom footer for steemians.
I appreciated her comment, but she went and resteemed my post on top of that. I was having a horrible day, and seeing that resteem really turned things around.
When I got home, I went through a brainstorming session figuring out how I could say thank you.
I chose to provide an example of a Steemian footer featuring a still from one of @surfermarly's surfing videos.
The post is remarkable, because it is unlike all other stills I examined. The minute she strikes this pose while riding a wave, I felt like she was harnessing the power of the air and water to balance. I'm sure she has a much more technical answer for the pose.

The outline behind the surfboard was made using the coast of Majorca or Ibiza.
The flowers are from images of native Hawaiian flowers.
Everything was put through the ringer, and given the digital paint touch that I've used in my post recent posts.
OMG, that's awesome!!! Wow. I don't know what to say.
That's really impressive.
I love the style!!! You are so creative!
Getting back to the "technical question":
Yeah well, it's all about balance on that surf board, and you use the whole body to move that board into the direction where you wanna have it, especially the torso.
In my next video there will be some more moves like that. I actually had the very best session in my life yesterday - and filmed it! Wohoooo :-D
May I use the card for one of my future blog posts (of course linking you then)?
Aaaaaw, I had no idea. I'm really happy that I inspired you in such way.
My VP is very low (close to 50%), but resteemed this article as well, so I hope it'll get some more visibility and VOTES :-))
Steem on!!!
Sure you can use the card. Please link back by using "@rubenalexander". Thanks!
So even your hands are used for balance?
I did it :-)

Yeah well the hands follow the arm I guess, haha! What most impact has on the move is the torso. So the no. 1 rule is that you need to look where you wanna go, and then the body follows your eyes... To initialize a turn to the right you might look back on your right shoulder... etc.
I might do a video about that, hehe :-)
I just thought that you might be willing to participate in this competition :-)

Best result ever!!! When will my surfer high come down? This is really wonderful. I want to know how much it costs and what you would do to get one. Upvoted and resteemed :)
Haha, maybe you'll never come down again! That reminds me of one of my favorite surf quotes:

lol - I know many surfers who would say this. I always saw those people looking intently out to sea in California beach towns. That's a great pic :)

Excellent I have discovered a real talented Illustrator! just followed you and waiting to see more of your work collegue :)
Great idea and the rendering is fantastic! Very genuine style:) Cheers, mate!
That's a cool idea. As a surfer living in Hawaii myself, I need to create a personalized footer in my future SteemIt Posts. I've been seeing this footer photos in each of the SteemIt posts I've been reading and will create my own!
