An order of balsa blanks recently arrived from Ecuador and the guy has a few for sale. From what I can tell they are good quality and reasonably priced. If any of you guys are interested, give Christian Wehr a call at 562-529-8591. He will be in the city of Paramount for the next 2 weeks. He speaks English but take your time. If you connect with Christian, you will save quite a bit on shipping costs by buying direct. http://www.surfers-directory.com/sddirectory/florida/sdfl01/default.htm
