New Blank
Anyone still hand-shaping prone-boards using polyurethane (PU) foam? In my effort to convert from EPS to PU core, I came across this new offering from Millennial Foam (millennialfoam.com). It's a blank designed for use in shaping wake surfboards, and it has the width and thickness needed for prone-boards, but at a minimal length to reduce waste and cost.

Re: New Blank

Re: New Blank
The 5-3 is $58, so the 5-0 would be a little less. http://stores.millenniumfoam.com/53-to-62-long-4/

Re: New Blank
Hey Thomas did you end up getting this blank? Thinking of shaping again and wondering what the customer service was like. Tried getting a blank from them before and took forever. Ended up getting one from US blanks instead.

Re: New Blank
Pes... While I haven't pulled the trigger on ordering a new blank, I've had great support from Millennium. The guy I worked with is Seth (seth.bishop@millenniumelastomers.com) I think they have worked out the kinks in logistics that may have plagued them earlier.

Re: New Blank
Plenty to work with... maybe too much rocker for my tastes but part of that could be mitigated by turning the board around before making cut lines.
