As a learning exercise (and for fun), I created icons and an app interface based on a prompt in which a client requested icons for a mobile app aimed at encouraging safe water conduct among surfers. I created simple, modern icons that cover everything from tide conditions to possible hazards in the water. I chose a simplified palette of blue and gray for the icons to represent the sea, data/intelligence, trust, and friendliness. Within the user interface there are accents of coral to convey the sociable and lighthearted nature of surfing.
