A while back there was some discussion about wanting a DIY board building sub-forum. It didn't seem to get up because of reasonable concerns that it would get lost among all the great stuff already on Seabeeze.

As a keen DIY Board Builder I reckon its worth a shot and so I've set up a new kiteboard builders forum on my site at

[URL]www.boardbuilders.co[/URL]

Just click on 'Forum' on the right hand side and sign up. There is already a couple of great projects up there.

There are a couple of freshly minted sub-forums ready go:

i) 'Board Projects' - start up a thread here and use it to show off progress on your own board projects
ii) 'Equipment Projects' - DIY board building equipment projects like vacuum pumps, presses, rocker tables and heat blankets...
iii) 'Idea Exchange' - the general Q&A forum
iv) 'Makers exchange' - find a supplier, sell your surplus materials or your projects or swap them for something else.

The forum just kicked off just last week so to build it into a great resource we need you to post your projects, share your how to's, ask your questions, answer someone else's and then do it again!

Its early days with the forum and we're keen to shape it into something special so jump on board early and be part of the ride
