There are many postings that should be interesting for both forums...so it has been requested to merge the two forums to create a forum for "Constructions" or similar. Up for ideas on a good name.
It should also be more helpful for the users monitoring just one forum instead of two.
What do you think?

My perspective on that is that hydrofoil / twintip construction has common points,
kitesurfboard and hydrofoil decks construction is similar,
and on top of that there are passionate guys contributing to "No more chicken loop", general bar design, kite design questions and Bruno's dreams becoming reality.
There's enough people interested in kite/boards/bars design to gather and to fuel their passion.

Or DIY kitesurf? Kitesurf Construction?
Put the kitebuilders in there as well. I love it all! I made my own kites, boards, hydrofoils, repaired my bar and lines. I'm interested in all that stuff.

My 2 cents.
Merge them all and call it "Makers".
