Design Vs. Function. How should you start prototyping?

         Design Vs. Function. In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Bolaniole Mate of Be Better Paris meets with two skateboard companies that take very different to business and manufacturing. Skateboard company Basie-en-ville Skateboards puts function before design. Co-founders Laurent Pierre and Anne Isimat-Mirin have engineered modern technical structures to their boards, making them easy to carry and adaptable to a variety of environments. 
        What she means when It says "Design vs. Function: How should your start prototyping?" she is saying which making comes first? the design and how much you just wanna make an interesting design or the function, making the skateboard itself and if  it will benefit others. 
         After watching the video I've learned that which ever way you pick in starting your own prototype is the way you start it; and that when you start you don't stop until it is finished. 

If I had to choose between Design and Structure, I would pick structure. Because I feel like making the base on the item is more important than to add silly designs on it. If you start with design then where is the design supposed to go?
