adding more stringers to blanks

     Yep, a common practice, as stated above.

I’m with you on this if what you say is true. A few extra bucks is smart when you think about the possibility of ending up damaging your blank, health, and wasting your time… And if you ain’t surfing triple overhead you don’t need strength. I’m beginning to think they ( the guys doin triple stringers ) are just liking the look, or liking a challenge? But man, why waste your time! Just request the supplier to order you the blank. +2 Stingray

Ive called around some building companys and manufacturing companys and they all had pretty huge blocks of EPS that i cold buy by the pound. Never was too interested in EPS, ive only been around it a few times. Ill give it some thought. Who knows, maybe ill like Epoxy glassing better

 

Angus-

I like epoxy glassing better, its all I use anymore.  Haven’t tried EPS yet, but its on my bucket list.

Ray, thanks for your thoughts, search tips, and the history lesson about the Clark-o-pocalypse. Your 7’-3" build thread is amazing.  You know what works and you do it well.

In my case, EPS foam and incidentals cost 1/3 or less of getting something premade shipped to me. There are no shops here, and the extra time spent cutting rocker and gluing stinger is leisure, so it works for me.

Angus, if you have an in at the shops and can get blanks at costs…I see no reason to be worried.
