Hey Mike, we stock the full line of Outcast blanks that are chameleon & chrome in color. Outcast does have some others (mostly 2 pc surf rods) but they are standard color and overlap many other manufacturers blanks so we don’t stock them or list them on the web site. If you are interested in them, email me directly at tom@mudhole.com and I can get you the specifications on them.

Mike, Outcast does not make any 7’ blanks. I have talked to them about making some and Kenny said he could not because the heated oven they use is only like 6’ tall, so he cannot fit a 7’ blank. Hence, he produces a lot of 2 piece blanks.

If he only has a 6" oven, how does he build 2 piece surf blanks longer than 12'?

Anyway, I could also use a 20-30# blank 6' long and put it in a unibutt. Might even could take the top section off of a GSC1568-2C if he can sell the top section only.

Man you math majors - go figure! To get those blanks sections over 6' Kenny has to ship them several times via UPS, those are the UPS Special Surf Blanks - LOL. They a very fast action and don't need a bent butt (come pre-formed) - LOL.

Keyword is "like" 6' - so it may be 6'6" but I'm sure it is not 7' as Kenny has told me several times "can make a 7' one piece blank". Now UPS on the other hand can make any blank you want.

On a serious note – Mike I got to get with you on the large I.D. EVA, I think I have some coming for you.
