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.
