Hi all

I'm just getting into this, and wondering after looking around on the net where does everyone get their stuff?

The 2 I have found the cheapest and used:

shapers.com.au - stocks everything.

sanded.com.au - stocks different interesting stuff

is there any others I should look at?

I order most of my stuff from surfblanksaustralia and shapers....

Not sure where you are but sth coast foam in burleigh sell seconds for fitty bux.... Good for hacking some out and making mistakes... And you will make plenty.....

Thanks guys! Im near Newcastle.

Looking to use epoxy and EPS.

Yes shapers.com.au, surfblanks and southcoast seams to be pretty good.

But no EPS blank? And Southcoast doesnt do Epoxy or Eps?

On the forum on sanded.com.au, most of the build threads use EPS but there is no links to where they buy? I will put a post up there also but does anyone do EPS blanks? (I thought here would be better to ask as I think most Sailboards/ kiteboards are EPS?)

or do you buy a block and cut it out yourself? or should I get over the "new tech thing" and do the normal resin and blanks?

definitely go conventional first such a crazy learning curve and youtube will become your best friend-get into it and have fun.ps.dont mix catalyst after knocking back 10 beers ;)

You can buy eps blanks 45 mins south of you. Will send you a PM. If you are ever in Brookvale - there is Surfblanks and Dion down Harboard Road and they have pretty much all you need as well. Give Lenny form Shapers a call - he stops by Newcastle regularly - just go meet him and have a walk through his van. Its always an expensive exercise though be warned

Supposedly You can get eps blanks from readhead foamworx in Newcastle.
