Miscellaneous EPS Foam Surfboard Blanks
Note: All Engineered EPS Blanks are made to order allowing for optimal customization. Due to a high demand please allow 2 weeks before pick up notification or shipping.
Make your own foam skimboard for wave riding and skimming flat sand as well.
EPS Foam Skimboard blanks are supplied at 1.25" thick. Thicker skimboards float really well and glide you out into the waves easier. Thinner skims will carve into the wave easier but you can shape the skimboard rails thin for that bite into the wave and retain the float to skim long and far.
Typical dimensions based on weight to build your own skimboard:
| Skimboarder Weight | Skimboard Blank Size | Skimboard Dimensions |
| >100lbs | Small | 45'' x 19'' |
| 100-150lbs | Medium | 50'' x 20'' |
| 150-220lbs | Large | 53'' x 21'' |

If you're not adding a wood or High Density Foam stringer we recommend using carbon fiber reinforcements with stringerless blanks for flex control and strength.

Surfboard Stringer Options
High Density (HD) Foam Stringers are the latest stringer technology and offer a more dynamic flex and rebound feel to your board. Similar to Kelly Slater's 'Slater Design / Firewire' boards, the HD foam stringer adds a natural, consistent flex pattern to naturally fit the shape of the wave in a turn, and a powerful spring-like "pop" when releasing the turn. And our HD Foam stringers come in a variety of colors!
Basswood is the standard wood type that has been used in surfboard construction for decades. It's light and easy to shape with proper wood tools. The grain is straight, with a fine, even texture and is pale white to light brown color.
Cedar wood is a popular choice for a darker colored stringer look. It is pale brown or tan color and shares similar properties to basswood but provides a really cool look under the glass. Plus, there's nothing like the smell of cedar in your shaping area when building your new board!

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Hey I was thinking about making my own skimboard. I had some questions about your blanks options. One being if it was possible to get a 55" blank. Im currently riding a 53" and was looking for a board with a little more width. Second Being if there was anyway to get more rocker in the front over the 1 3/8" of rocker since sometimes the run ups for waves are a little choppy here. Thanks!
