Activity 3.1.1

Design Elements/Principals: The dumpster diver

• The shape allows the surfboard to cut through the water a certain way
•  Color does nothing for the functionality but adds to the ascetic appeal, stickers allow rider to advertise the companys that employ him or her
• The smooth texture allows water to slide off of the board with little resistance
• 
  The offset balance of foam inside of the boardthat the board does not bog down when driving down the line
• The proportion allows for the rider to ride much smaller waves

Design elements: The Traction pad

• The shape allows a rider to prop his foot against the back of the track pad and aid in staying on the board
• The texture allows the riders foot to stay on the board
• the weight of the trackpad allows for little variation in how the board feels with out a trackpad
• color adds to the ascetic value making the track pad memorable

Design Elements: The leash

• Velcrow on the straps allows for the leash to stay on both the board and the rider
• lightweight flexible chord allows for the rider to stay in contact with his surfboard even if he or she falls but not slow the rider down to much
• color makes the leash memorable
• the evenness in the diameter of the chord causes there to not be an excess of stress in any one area of the leash.
