Do any of the blank companies make anything like the Becker 7’3’'?
The Rhyno 7’9’’ in it’s natural rocker would yield most anything you could get out of that classic old 7’3’'.
I haven’t seen EVERY new PU blank, but I haven’t seen anything closer. The 7’3’’ was very old, and most of the plugs
in use today are a little more ‘‘modern’’.
And there’s always EPS. You can cut anything you want.

Thanks Mike…that blank had a nice sweet spot in the middle for Cheaters and eggs. A bit soft…but was good for certain things.
Yeah, back before there was anything called a funboard, Becker made umpteen thousand boards out of that blank.
The rest of us used it for the odd mini-tanker, cheater, egg, whatever. It was the only blank in the Clark catalog
for that kind of board for years and years.
The other way to yield something close would be to center up on longboard blank like the hull guys.
