Give Me a Bullet, I mean a Blank

Blank, Blank, Blank.......
We have blanks.  Currently we have 2 sizes of blanks.  These blanks are made out of 2lb Polystyrene (White Beaded Foam).  They are cut to shape and they have the rockers in place in the front and the back of the board.  The front Rocker is steeper than the rear.  When you receive this blank, when purchased, all you have to do is round the rails and give the board a final smoothing sand, apply the art and you are ready to glass.   I have sucessfully finished the rails and gave my boards a final sand in under an hour.  After unpacking the blank I was glassing within minutes after finishing the rails.

The current sizes are - 50 x 19 x 3/4" thick  and 54  x 22 x 3/4" thick.  The blanks sell for $65+ shipping.  The more blanks you buy the cheaper they get.  I am in the process of repricing my blanks and they may come down in price by 15%.  Shipping is not included.  I do allow for Local Pickup in Northern California, USA in the San Francisco Area. 

Summer is coming, so don't wait to start making your own board.  We also sell first time skimboard kits.  See previous post for that info.
