Howzit, All…
Doing a little market research project, and I need your help. I know this has already been discussed to some extent, but I need more detail. I tried looking through some of the old threads and it gave me a migraine, so a little more order would be nice, too. Anyhow, for any foam you’ve shaped (Walker Foam, U.S. Blanks, JustFoam, Surfblanks America, Bennett USA, KingMac, Rhyno Foam, etc.), fill in the blanks (no pun intended):
Manufacturer: name?
Blank Shaped: plug? foam density?
Consistency: uniform throughout? soft in the middle?
Stringer: straight? quality of glue-up? quality of wood?
Ease Of Shaping: compared to other companies?
Finished Board: durability? ride quality?
Pros/Cons: bright white foam? soft spots? air bubbles?
Foam Best-Suited For: shortboards? retros? longboards?
Would You Use It Again: no? yes? for shortboards? for retros? for longboards?
Thanks in advance for your input. It is of great benefit to my research!
Peace & grooviness…
