aloha everybody,
i'm new here and i'm from belgium, so if my englisch is not that good, please feel free to correct me ;p
I would like to start shaping surfboards, so i want to take the boat to England to get my material, because
we have one big problem in Belgium and that is that you can't find any material to make surfboards, especially no blanks and stuff.
Now what i wanted to know is if there are any surfshops that sell everything from blanks to resins et cetera...
Now i choose working with polyester resins, so i think i can't use eps foam
I'm looking for shops around Dover or maybe 50 to 60 miles around Dover, because it's allready going to be a real trip
Allready thanks

Homeblown and Seabase are both in Cornwall. You can justify it by getting a surf in too!
Why not EPS? loads of posts on here with guys using construction grade EPS, and epoxy available from Chandlers, should all be available locally.

There was a recent thread (topic) that covered all or most of the options for materials in Europe.
Have a look at this:

SEABASE is the main one in the UK. They also have Resin Research (Kwick Kick) Epoxy if you don't want the polyester smell. Viralsurf is in France.
The solution is home delivery. Two or three days.
Email to make sure they have what you want.
There is also triocean surf in south devon who import xtrafoam blanks and sell cloth and resin too. a bit closer than cornwall but still a few hours from dover.
cant remember website but i'm sure it will come up if you google it
