The design question

How does the rider connect to the board? The project archive includes grip, trigger, grab-handle and deck-layout studies. These original renders make the component work visible alongside the hull investigation.

What the images show

The grab-handle rendering shows a curved handle with mounting ends. The hand-control rendering shows a trigger, a contrasting grip surface and a lower connection. The older deck render provides context for the handles, hatch and footpad arrangement.

Design intent, not validation

These are archived design concepts. Appearance does not establish grip comfort, strength, waterproofing, shut-off reliability or manufacturing readiness. Existing logos belong to the original supplied artwork; no new lettering or geometry has been added.

Next steps

Confirm which revisions remain relevant to the current assembly, then link dimensions, materials and physical evaluations to their respective source records. Keep earlier concepts available as the rider interface develops.

Added original component renders to the development record. Dates and current-design applicability remain unconfirmed.

Later corrections and follow-up studies will link back to this record.
