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 don’t loose your board when you crash This board looks good and efficient for what i want

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 I am happy with the look of the board as it looks easy to surf and good for beginners

Existing design 3..fish board History : usually a short stubby board under 6 feet. This was developed from knee boards in the 1970’s 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 (80kg ) and be suitable for my height (184 cm). It must come in under my budget of $100. It should have a 5 fin configuration. The graphics of my board are the colours I paint it. There are also different things that I could use for my board, for example I could have it plain, tint it, use fabric, painted foam, faces, stencils and more. These are attributes of what I could choose. Another attribute could be the volume, this will determine the size of the board. For the Fun board that I am making (Mini Mal) I will most likely have a long board fin to create more balance and speed.

The Bok style is made up of different patterns. Mainly from the tribal patterns in the South of Africa. The colors that I have chosen represents some of the colors represented in South Africa. The name comes from the national animal the Springbok which most South Africans refer to as the Bok.

The wave is a board inspired by watching surfing videos and riding the waves. This board is creative as it shows the waves on the board and the creation and shows the visual taste of surfing. This board shows creativity and sets the mood for surfing. Hopefully it also inspires people to want to have a go, to create the excitement of wanting to have a go at.

This board is called the squid. The colors are there to make the board creative and to look stylish. It is a nice creative design made for something to look different and stylish.

I chose this as my design on my board as it’s the most creative and looks the most ‘out there’. I think it’s the coolest and suits my board.
