Nomad:
I just got two Surfblanks last week but it was a project. Right now they
have a warehouse in Carpenteria to service all of SB/LA & OC. There
is one sales guy north of the border who I met and he seemed like
a stand up guy. It took me almost a month to get my blanks. It took
a lot of phone calls to get them sent after they were ordered, but they
finally got delivered. OC distribution should improve in the future as they
will have a local vendor soon. Don’t know about up your way, but check
the price of gas before you go driving to the warehouse as delivery might
be cheaper!!
The good thing is that they will deliver if you order two or more
blanks and pay in check or cash and establish an account up front.
On the blanks I received they are the best of the Aussie foam so far
and the stringers are great. The cut is straight on both the blanks,
a 6’8" & 9’3". The rockers are interesting as they are Aussie influenced
as well and can help you shape up something a bit different that Clark
(US Foam). The foam is hard and crisp like Midget says and I hope that
it will hold up better than the rest as the boards I’m shaping are for
Indo this summer. Will post the results when they are finished but the
rough out of the 6’8" was good so far.
