You can't really get proper blanks, but you can get EPS foam from Foamex. They have
offices in both Melbourne and Sydney. Not sure about the other states.

+1 - there's one other place in Sydney that sells foam blocks I've got it at home. Depending on size and location you could try the guys a Shapers in Qld, I think they get their standard EPS in larger blocks or some one that makes prone paddle boards as there EPS (Bennett, deep) they might be able to help you.

Check out this thread showing how Dean makes his boards by bending the blank.

He's made 14, 16 and even 20' boards this way and it works.. I have one and it's still perfect.

It sure beats buying a blank at least a foot thick and having to hot knife the rocker into it and wasting heaps.
