Searching fo a dealer of eps marko blanks. I am north of the Golden Gate. Can make the drive to Santa Cruz but would prefer someone on the city. Any ideas? If anyone isn’t comfortable posting phone number etc, pm me.
Thanks,
PIco
Call Ken at Segway Composites. See if he has any leads? He's got fantastic EPS foam! All weights 1, 1.5, 2.0 3.0 lb foam....all kinds of stringer materials, wood, pvc, fiberglass / epoxy.
Worth the extra effort.
i wish Ken was closer...
i bought some Marko blanks from Matt Ambrose in South City:
Matt Ambrose (South SF) 650-872-7990...
here's a link to my thread from a couple years back:
Thanks for the leads. I think Ambrose was the former contact, not doing it anymore.
anybody got a current # for Matt Ambrose? the one above is disconnected…
Have you considered Pau Hana Surf Supply? They are retailers for Ken's blanks and Marko. They have a shipping deal through Fastenal Industrial Supply which allows for very reasonable shipping rates to any local Fastenal store.
Righ on John, I’ll check them out. I’m looking for a Marko fish blank…
Hi Chris -
It would be good to double check on the availability of the different blanks listed. Some of the brands are no longer in business (King Mac? White Hot?) so unless Pau Hana stocked up on inventory, all of the blanks listed on website might not be available. They usually have an answering machine and don't work at the shop all the time so expect some 'phone tag.' Still worth the wait IMO.
WOW, thanks John! there’s a Fastenal store 1/4 mile from my house and their shipping prices are great!
This will be good in the future too because I had planned on getting some blanks from Ken. Right on!
