Cowabunga Dudes

No fish, just the waves they came with.  They are easily broken off and the tab on top cuts off easily.
Using a bit of sheet plastic I made two surfboards and planted a couple surfers on top.
These are not glued, there is enough flat on the top of the wave for the figures to sit nicely.
I collect surfer figures for several reasons.  Surfing was popular in Hawaii near Pearl Harbor even before the Second World War, Joker and Batman had a surfing competition to see who ruled the waves, Apocalypse Now informed us there was surfing in Viet Nam during the war, I am doing "American Cities" as part of my collection and one of those cities is greater Los Angeles where surfing has always been popular.
I may get a few more, I think they look pretty good as is, but of course a blue water base would look better.
