Where are you located?

If you’re in Australia, I can put you in the right direction.

shipping is a tough thing to deal with…the best way to do it is to buy a large number of blanks at a time straight from the factory…whether you order 1 blank or 16 blanks, the shipping charge is exactly the same.

you might want to check with your local shop owner. they might know of someone who shapes boards localy and you may be able to get in on an order. this way you wont have to pay for shipping.

Joel,

There is a shop in Naragansett RI that I believe has some blanks every now and then. Can’t remember the name, but there is only a few.

Kind of a haul for you to get there, but if you wanted a sweet surf trip, RI is what maybe three, or four hours from you…Matunik to Newport has lots of nice breaks… some would argue the nicest on the right coast.

Other than that, just suck it up and order a bunch and the shipping becomes nominal per board,

The surfshop in Narragansette is called Warm winds. Tom Hogan sells board building supplies, and is a great source of info.

Shane Smith has a shop in Hampton, NH and might be nice enough to sell you some supplies. Check him out at the shop or www.2-si.com

Yah, I’ve gone down to Shane to buy supplies such as resin, blanks, and other things, but I was just wondering if there was a website online that sold them for cheap without any large shipping charges?

Howzit Joelyboaly, Free shipping probably won’t happen and especially with chemicals since they are shipped as hazardous materials. Another thing is a lot of companies who ship for free make up for it in the price of the product and companies that have cheaper prices make up for them with higher shipping and the infamous handling charges. But you never know you might stumble across the golden goose website.Aloha,Kokua
