Sokka's drawing (for the humor), or the four elements symbols (for the visuals and placement on the board).

Alternatively I feel like Aang's glider would also be very fitting for a skateboard.

u/Tetracheilostoma 12d ago

Omg the glider that's perfect

u/ObjectiveOk2072 12d ago

I would do the four element symbols in a 2x2 layout on one end, Sokka's drawing of Appa on the other end, and Appa with the "Tip yip!" text in the middle

u/ObjectiveOk2072 12d ago

Something like this:

u/Lapislazuli69_ 11d ago

Okay now that's better than just one

u/ScrltHrth 12d ago

How do I give this more upvotes?

u/agent_flounder 12d ago

I like 3 best :)

1

u/bootrick 9d ago

Same!

8

u/babiri 12d ago

I like 3 and 4

6

u/Redddraco 12d ago

I like 3 and 6 personally

4

u/a1Faith1a 12d ago

I like 1

5

u/ComprehensiveHat9080 12d ago

I like "yip yip" and the one with just the four elements

3

u/Concrooence 12d ago

3 is the best imo

2

u/jeanluuc 12d ago

6 in between the trucks, an arrow at the top, and 8 at the bottom

2

u/Singer_Spectre 12d ago

6 looks cool

2

u/sunsetscorpio 12d ago

I really like #3 and it’s very skateboard-art like to me

2

u/E-man_Exalted 12d ago

7 is tuff

2

u/The_Blackthorn77 11d ago

You gotta go Yip Yip I think, it’s just so perfect

2

u/RingwraithElfGuy Boomer Aang 10d ago

Honestly the crappy Sokka drawing would be awesome. People who aren’t fans would think you last are a bad artist and did it yourself but for the real fans it’s like an inside joke.

1

u/MrMustache129 12d ago

2 or 4 for sure

1

u/eggroll85 12d ago

4 is great, but might be too deep of a cut. 3 plays everywhere.

1

u/Lars_loves_Community 12d ago

Gordon Cortimer (?), Aangs actor for the Netflix show got one skatboard with Avatar art on it gifted by Netflix, maybe you want the same art or something like it

1

u/MarioJinn2 12d ago

Arrow Aang is cool, but you can't beat Sokka's Appa.

1

u/clmoore1 Type to edit 12d ago

Yip Yip

1

u/Sad_Daikon938 Water Tribe 🌊 🫳🏽 12d ago

The yip yip image.

1

u/happycabinsong 12d ago

I'd probably pick the last one as lineart of some sort but why do Aang's thumbs look dislocated

1

u/bandidoburnie 12d ago

3 and 4. But if you do #2, in a pattern, that would be coolest

1

u/ac_9305 12d ago

Sokka’s drawing is the best.

1

u/Alone_Jellyfish_1990 12d ago

The Aang picture for the large section, but off to the side kinda small do Sokka's drawing of Appa.

1

u/Darth_Azazoth 12d ago

Go with appa and the words yip yip

1

u/rustyacres 12d ago

6 would be dope for bottom of board and if possible #7 on griptap

1

u/AdBrief4620 Boomer Aang 12d ago

All the elements and AS Aang

or...

Aang and zuko in the dragon fire dance with the dragons

1

u/cancervivordude 12d ago

If possible I'd do them all

1

u/tashadanceon Boomer Aang 12d ago

4 or 6 would be my vote

1

u/NaiadoftheSea 12d ago

Sokka’s Appa drawing would be so fun!

1

u/North-One-7808 12d ago

In my opinion it doesn’t matter you are going to sand the shit out of that skateboard in a year or two but if ur going to do it ,U should carve Appa and the nations in the skateboard. That way it will last longer.

1

u/Spirited_Bowler_1427 12d ago

Sokkas drawing on appa

1

u/pranthlar 11d ago

4, 2, or 3

1

u/kendricklemak 11d ago

this post makes me think that if aang lives in the modern world he probably loves skating

1

u/Capybara327 11d ago

I'd go with either 6 or 7

1

u/WingsArisen 11d ago

4 without question. SEND IT

1

u/Venture-Industries 11d ago

That masterfully drawn picture of Appa from above.

1

u/Crate-Dragon 11d ago

Just a simple arrow on white and brown. Like appa’s fur.

1

u/Arbor_Vitae123 Boomer Aang 11d ago

Best one is probably 6 because its a cool design and the other skaters will be less likely to punk you for it.

1

u/Tedbear2014 10d ago

The 3rd one

1

u/Beemo-Noir 10d ago

I like the 4th one best lmao

1

u/whysotired24 10d ago

So I like a lot of simple stuff. So I say the four elements just by themselves

1

u/padawanmoscati 10d ago

These are all great but just know that while riding this you are an airbender

1

u/G0bolo 10d ago

i like yip yip

1

u/AlbinoDragonTAD surely you mean his platypusbear? 9d ago

Personally image 3 or 4 would look best imo

1

u/SpammsMcGee 9d ago

Aang surrounding the 4 elements on the deck and Sokka's drawing of Appa cut out of the grip tape.

1

u/BlueCindersArt 9d ago

As much as I love the four elements design, the yip yip goes hard. Imagine doing a cool jump trick (I’m not a skater, I don’t know what they’re called) and everyone see “Yip yip” as you’re in the air.

1

u/ArtistZeo 8d ago

I say 6 is the best and 9 directly follows it

1

u/Void-Cooking_Berserk 8d ago

Yip Yip!

Or the 4 emblems (without Aang)

1

u/Fit_Environment_4668 8d ago

The appa with the yip yip is badass and will help you catch air

1

u/Ok_Examination8810 7d ago

Either 3, 6, or 7

1

u/ActualFridgee 7d ago

It definitely should say yip yip, but i think you should use the first Appa

1

u/No_Pea326 12d ago

The third or seventh one is great
