Hey crew
Just wondering where the NZ shapers on here score their blanks?
Scored some blanks off a mate and been using a few Eskimo blanks. The eskimo blanks seem Ok but very limited range of thicknesses and rocker shapes; that is 1 does all.
Really like Bennet blanks but it seems scince Pete Anderson in Whangamata took over as their supplier he doesn’t want anyone else to have them. Never liked dealing with him both in and out of water.
Ray Findlay gave me a contact for Southcoast foam. I know Tribal use these but all of their boards seem to sink into themselves, so a little suss.
Looks like Pacific Surf Industries in Hamiltron will soon be getting in US blanks, should be good, just hope they get a good range.
It’s hard and expensive here in NZ looking at what our overseas counterparts are spoilt with.
