Hi Steve

There is a company is the same complex as Glascraft that specialises in foam. I can't rememeber it's name. I've brought a lot foam off his guy. He sells lots of different types. He cuts it to size. Hope that helps.

Where is Clake Rubber? I always thought they where on Anzac Highway. I went there the other day. Looks like they are out of business, have they moved??

Good luck with the foam pirrad.

Clark Rubber is on South Rd in the same group as Glascraft. Next to Uzit.
There's plenty of others around, but that's the one Dave was referring to.


Thanks Tony!

has anyone had any experience with making there own waveboards? Thought it might be a bit of fun to have a go.

Any thoughts on where to source the mast track and fin box?

Should be a bit of fun experimenting with a few different shapes. Hope your foot goes well on the weekend if the wind comes in.

Cheers muzza,

I need a board for Vikki to use, so i'm thinking about basing a design on the 101L freewave I've got but changing the rails to make it bottom turn a bit better.

How did the foot go sailing again, i hope its still attached below your ankle somewhere.
