Selecting a blank to shape...

Hi All,

Looking at making my first board...although planning on making a windsurf board, not a surf board. I am planning on making something in epoxy using, using carbon re-enforcement (biax, and a carbon/kevlar twill). I am pretty experienced with composites, having repaired sailing dinghies to insurance standards professionally for a while, and pretty familar with using a vac pump etc...

Anyhow, I am trying to work out what to use for a blank to shape out of. I found a guide on the SP Systems site before they binned, it recommending using Styrofoam for a blank...but could I ask more experienced people if this would be suitable:

I am trying to source something local to use and they are literally about 3 miles away from where I live. I have tried searching the subject but couldn't find much in the way of resuls.

Anyhow, thanks in advance,

Mark.
