Sorry about the last blank post. After a few weeks of reading the posts I decided to post my own, but apparently I haven’t figured it out yet.
After doing quite a bit of research and reading through the archives I’ve decided to buy a ClarkFoam 10’1" Y. The waves in TX never get above 4ft unless there’s a hurricane blowing in so I think this will be a good shape for a beginner/intermediate surfer like me.
The only problem is that the nearest dealer/shop that sells Clark Blanks that I can find is 1000 miles away. Does anyone know if there are any surf shops or websites that are located in or near TX that sell the blanks? If not, where would be the cheapest place to order a ClarkFoam Blank?
Mike Doyle in Corpus has been known to sell blanks from time to time or you can order directly from Clark Foam in Van Nuys, Ca. and also from Clark in Florida. Another option is with EPS/Epoxy. You can buy EPS blanks rockered and stringered to order in Houston.
We sell blanks as well we are located in socal, you may want to consider either getting around 4 blanks or getting some people to go in on 4 blanks because 4 ship for the same price as 1 in that box.
also clark is in Laguna niguel, CA not van nuys… And clark CA as far as i know wont ship individiual orders.
I have no experience with them, just spent a lot of time on there web site, but http://www.foamez.com is also located in California and makes/sell clark blanks.
where you located in Texas? If you are close to houston go with eps, if you buy a few they might drive and meet part distance. that is what he did with my friend.
