Flexinose
A surfboard for people with paralysed limbs that prevents nose dive while surfing. The surfboard has a flexible spot that allows the board to bend while catching a wave, this technique also prevents falling from the board. The board has a modular option for adjusting the accompanied accessories according to the individual users needs.
Throughout the work on the project I persisted in interviewing professionals and users in order to get the most real answer to make the project more accurate, I took inspiration from water sports equipment such as windsurfers, inspiration from mechanisms in different worlds such as car seats, and in the visual and style aspect I took inspiration from sea animals such as manta rays and whales.
The height range of adjusting the extensions is between
1.60cm-1.90cm
and this is how the surfboard allows an option for a large part of the population to customize
