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 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 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 (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
