Balsa Surfboard Blanks
Riley’s blanks are all built in Australia by hand – they are environmentally friendly and most of them can be custom made. We recommend you use a vented plug for the foam core blanks.
When you are purchasing your blank – don’t forget to include a leash plug, fin boxes, fins, nose and tail blocks, stringer, DVD, instructions, racks or stands to be included in your order and save on shipping.
Riley only uses Makita power tools and has been using them since 1984 – they realise how good they are when over 27 years of use and they are still going strong - check them out at – www.makita.com.au
Shapers Australia is the one stop shop for all Riley’s shaping tools and accessories – buy on line at www.shaper.com.au
You know how important safety is in the construction and surfboard building industry – so do not cut corners and look after your health and safety and buy what Riley uses at www.drsindustries.com.au
These blanks can be shipped overseas and anywhere around Australia for $120 for one blank and $160 for two blanks. These will get delivered to your door including insurance.
