I agree with Peter to call it "Hydrofoil Builders", so it is similar to the Board Builders forum.
I already renamed the forum and topic accordingly.

So guys, do you want the existing DIY topics to be moved in there?

Is this a forum section on naming conventions or on hydrofoil builds?
Please clarify.

PS: "KiteBoarding" is a funny name btw, not many knows what it is around here as not a word that exists in our language, compared to "Kitesurfing" that is listed in the national dictionary.
Just because the correct words for the vertical part of a "T bar" and "kite boarding" do not exist in your mother tongue, or in your friends understanding, does not make it the best word choice for an English forum.
"Funny" btw that just to name a few, NORTH, NAISH choose to call their divisions KITE BOARDING, as well as the Wikipedia definition,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitesurfing

"Kiteboarding is a surface water sport combining aspects of wakeboarding, snowboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding, skateboarding and gymnastics into one extreme sport. A kiteboarder harnesses the power of the wind with a large controllable power kite to be propelled across the water on a kiteboard similar to a wakeboard or a small surfboard, with or without footstraps or bindings."

"Kitesurfing is a style of kiteboarding specific to wave riding, which utilizes standard surfboards or boards shaped specifically for the purpose."

I also did a quick numbers search finding like you more posts under K surfing as opposed to K boarding, but again this in itself does not lend itself to informed usage.

I will agree that because this is a kite forum that simply hydrofoil builders fits well and is in the same vane as board building, although there is still the possibility of confusion as to where to post info concerning board building specific to hydrofoil use?

Yes please and Thank you!
I think you might find info concerning board building specific to Hydrofoils in the "board builders" section?

Maybe you will have the great fortune one day to meet a guy (THE GUY) in your state and ask him what to correctly call the part. :wink:

ok, now I moved all related posts into this forum.
I left a shadow topic in the normal Hydrofoil forum.

If anything wrong or missing, let me know!

Enjoy!
