Catching some waves!!

Ohkay!
So Ive already looked at words that come to mind when I think of surfing and being in the sea. This made me think about surfing talk, I thought about simple things like the face of the wave, a rip, surfs up.. and various other mottos/sentences/quotes/phrases. I was interested in how the words, "I'm going to catch a wave" make total sense to me as a person who surfs but might make no sense at all to a non-surfer. I decided to look deeper into those words and I tried to represent them in different ways

Here are some of the things I came up with..

first I started looking at how a person waves. I'm wondering how I  could show someone catching that .  Sonething I need to get back to, Ive to keep pondering about it a\anyway.

These were just 2 drypoint prints I did, Overlaying the same print again and again to make it look like the hand was waving.

heres an original sketch showing how I'd use Typography to show a hand literally catching a wave.

Heres an original drypoint print I made. 

Next I printed on lettering using seperate blocks from the viscom room.

I tried various different type

I glued on hands to the drips coming from the word wave - which was written using spray paint - The hands look like they are grabbing the strings of a balloon or something.

In these 2 images I tried to show a hand catching water.
Because thats what waves are made of after all...
