    Help me design a custom surf rocker switch

    I need some help from the collective genius on the site here.

    I have found this site, and found some pretty cool switches there. https://otrattw.com/index.php

    I have a custom switch panel that I made out of carbon fiber and would like to jazz it up with a few special rocker switches. The switch panel has the controls for my second bilge pump, LED lights, and my surf sac. I plan on putting the 'passenger eject' switch on the bilge pump, and the 'zombie lights' on my LED switch. I will have to create a custom switch for my surf sac however. They tell me that to convert a JPG to an AI or EPS file would cost them $50. I did some internet searching, and am sure that a great logo is out there for free, but cannot find it. I was thinking something simple, like a surfer on a wave with the words 'Fill' and 'Empty' above and below so that it is clear that this switch goes to the big fat sac.

    Does anyone have a surfing vector file handy that would look great on a rocker switch?

    The passenger eject:

    The zombie lights:

    How about surfs up and surfs flat?

        I've got these 3 on hand in vector. Also got a guy surfing a shark if you want that.

            I have no input on the switches but can vouch for the vendor. Very reasonable and quick service to boot.

              Number 1 or 3 would both work great. But I think that we would have to invert the colors, so that the surfer guy was white on a black background. Is that hard to do?

                  I finally got around to installing my custom switches. The guys at ottratw.com were terrific to work with. It did not cost me extra to just put lettering on the switch, so I ended up not going with a logo and just took the advice above to put 'surf's up, and surf's down' on it. Then I got a matching heater switch and a 'zombie lights' switch for the LED lights that I have in the boat. I ended up not putting the second bilge pump switch there, so no passenger eject button.

                  I have been pleased with the switches, and give big props to OTTRATW.com. They do have all sorts of custom switches on their website.

                    Looks great! I've had very good experiences with those guys too. And great job with the proper use of the apostrophe.

                      HAHA! Believe it or not, the medical school admissions test does have a written portion. Although it is generally recognized as the least important score.
