Does any one know where I can get really cheap eps, xps, or pu blanks to practice shaping on in the San Diego area because I dont want to mess up a $75 blank. Thanks
Basham’s AKA “The Factory” here in San Clemente sometimes has beat up blanks that go pretty cheap.
Contact me I might have something buried in the yard you can wreck…I am in San Diego…OB
Okay cool I PMed you
Get some Home Depot XPS insulation foam from Home Depot to practice planner on with different depths and angels…super cheap
I just picked up a first quality US Blanks 6-2P for 49.88 plus tax at Surf Supply in Oceanside. Crap low quality foam might ruin your game…have fun no matter what !
Too bad you R in SD!
In FGH Ventura today 3 EPS shorties in show room blow out about $35.00/ea
BINGO !!!
Keep an eye on craigslist too.

AKU HQ at Tweed Heads sells 6’7" EPS for 70. That’s stringeless and 30 bucks cheaper than Burford’s stringered blank. Imported from China of course.
Re,
You can also see some construction companies who works with EPS (for insulation, molding).
For the SUP I made recently, I get a roughly shaped EPS blank from such nearby Cie (rough rocker from an Autocad file I give them, inductrial grade hotwire cuting): 88$ for 9’10 * 32" * 6" blank…
EPS or XPS is a gd solution for cheap learning material if you don’t leave near blank suppliers who can provide 2nd hand or damaged blanks.
Gd luck.
