A US Blanks Eric Arakawa designed 8’01″EA with a 1/8″ basswood stringer.
Designer Comments: This is primarily designed for making funboards. It comes with a moderate but continuous even rocker and foil to make “positioning” the blank for the shape process easy. It’s a longer version of the 7’6” EA, but I added width forward to accommodate wider noses.

US Blanks – the world’s best selling foam – are without doubt the strongest, accurate, most user friendly foam on the market. Surfboards made with US Blanks have the best feel according to all research. The stringers are straight, clean and easy to plane. The foam cleans up so well. The plugs are from the best shapers, bar none. Plus you get custom rockers, coloured foam, coloured glues, a huge range to choice from, and total respect! We’ve seen foam companies come and go – this is the foam from which all our production is produced, and we recommend (and guarantee) every blank we sell.
