The reason i choose this board because i made a model of it and thought it would be a good idea that now i can make improvement and there will be negatives and positives i can change and bring the board i am going to make. fins Depth: Longer the fin, the more grip you will get. Flex: Different materials effect flex Stiffer fins make its more responsive Angle: of the fin, less pivot more pivot Base length: longer on the base Quad fine: equal the same as a base fin but can escape from the fins and makes it faster DiagramFeatureThoughtsYes or no diagram DepthLonger the fin, more hold grip I think this one would be good because it will keep balance and more grip while surfing Yes FlexDifferent mats, more flex, bendy More flexi will be good for going faster and turner, and pivoting Yes stiffStiff easy to go straight, slow Easy to go straight and not turning good for beginners no Base lengthBig fin, covers a lot of the board good for getting speed Great for speed but less pivot but more grip but fast. Yes Existing design1.. Mini Simmons History: Surf records say that Bob Simmons created this board Fins: this particular picture has four fins which means its a quad fin Tail popular fins for a minimal is a pin, round, squash and swallow Rocker it normally would be a upturn at the nose and at the tail and flows along the bottom of the board Leash it has a foot leash so you dont loose your board when you crash Fin system Existing design2..long board History: one of the first boards invented and came into the world created by the Hawaiians Fins : long boards only have one fin to make there board more stable, but harder to gain speed Tail: quite a pointy tail to increase the speed of the board mainly for a harder difficulty Rocker upturn by the nose then comes straight down the board to the tail quite strong Leash: the foot leash is there to connect with the person so you don't loose the board Fin system: there's one fin one this board because it creates speed but not to much because long boards are quite hard to control Existing design 3..fish board History: usually a short stubby board under 6 feet. This was developed from knee boards in the 1970s Fins: in this photo they have a twin fin this will increase the speed of the board and will determine how fast it will go and control Tail: this tail has a concave tail this will also determine the speed and balance of the board also a looking style Rocker : the rocker that is in this display is a single rocker from the top to the tail. leash: foot leash that will stop you from loosing you board Fin system: this board will need two because it requires two fins Design brief I am going to design a surf craft with the following attributes. Must be able to support my weight (76kg ) so it is suitable for my height (184 cm). it must come in under my budget 100$. Should have a 5 fin configuration. The graphics of my board are the colour i paint it there are also different things that i could use for my board examples are i could have it plain, tint it, use fabric, painted foam, faces, stencils and more these are attributes of what i can choose from another attribute could be the volume this will determine the size of the board. For the fun board i am making (mini mal) i will most likely have a long board fin to create more balance and speed
