Stopped by BING to pick up 2 boards and check on a double stringer balsa blank that took a month to make. Thankyou BLAIR foam! 10-2 dual balsa stringer blank with a 26.5 width. Matt Calvani and Jim Phillips truly are masters of both wood and foam. They Added a 2 inch center foam to get the desired width, and now just waiting on a CNC cut to save a lot of time.
While I was there I saw some unbelievable nose and tail blocks that are just insanely intricate. Foam is tough, but wood is tougher. Jim Phillips does unbelievable work. Also the guys Jorge and Javier in the back are super nice. They are some of the best glassers in all of San Diego, but they don't surf which is crazy to me and even crazier that they don't swim. Gotta get em swimming and surfing. They dont know what they are missing.
