For you diehard, finless, p-boarders (you know who you are)

Just take a little off here and a little off there, throw some cloth and epoxy resin on it, and bingo. Get fancy and put in your own stringer, or use a strip of carbon-fiber, possibilities are endless.

Too short for me, but then again, maybe I'm not a diehard. I have a foot in both camps.

"This blank is designed to make bodyboards, hard and soft."

I would be interested in what they consider the finishing process for a "soft" board :?

I know bodyboards dont use eps cores (maybe the really cheap ones do?) , and have no idea if the outer materials usually used will work with eps?

certainly cheap! :o

I used a couple of these eps blanks for 44" models, but I had to flip the outline to make my wide-point back shapes fit. I also used it bottom-side up to get the rocker I wanted. 2.0PCF EPS shapes really nice and you don't really need a stringer. Price is right...
