paddleboards

does anyone know where i could get a blank suitable to shape myself a paddleboard, somthing over 11 ’ 6" size .

I’d guess Ken at Segway can do that. http://www.segwaycomposites.com/

It might not be on his menu but he should be able to do that with the big blocks of foam, cnc machine he’s got that cuts the rockers into the foam, and an APS 3000 that cuts big mofo boards.

thanks for the pointer mate, I’ll cheak it out.

Other options include big (12 feet long) polyurethane blanks via Fiberglass Hawaii in Ventura and Steve at White Hot Foam (EPS) in Oxnard. Steve posted here recently as “Stevewhf.” You might try PMing him if you live near Oxnard/Ventura area.

KingMac and Safari both list big blanks in their catalogs but I’ve had no luck in my efforts to get big blanks from either company.

Ken is a sure thing… no BS and quick dependable service with a smile.

pebbles… We can cut up to 14 ft blanks, and now have the APS3000 up and running as well. Glassing will be available shortly as well… If you have a desired rocker, we will cut to your specifications… Let me know if I may be of assistance…

Steve is no longer with WHF and there is a rumor that someone around these posts might be carrying WHF soon…

Thanks for recommending White Hot Foam. You can get one of our blanks through Fiberglass Hawaii, as for the rumors, it is true that Steve Sales is no longer with WHF. As for the availability of the EPS blanks, we are still manufacturing in Oxnard and will continue to do so. We are committed to making the best EPS Surf Specific foam on the market. If anyone has any questions just ask me. steve.padilla@gwbm.com

Hi Steve -

Sorry for the confusion between you and the other Steve. My mistake.
