Where is the best place to get various size foam sheets and blocks for making hip, knee, foot pads, support, etc??

Thanks

Mark,

Nantahala Outdoor Center in Carolina stocks minicell foam in a pretty good variety from which you can order. Also, Ouachita Outdoor Outfitters in Hot Springs always tries to keep a stock of sheets. Although you can get minicell in 4 and 6" thicknesses, it's also easy to glue 1" pieces together to make larger blocks
if you need to.


Best Regards
Jim

While we're talking about it, I recently lost the factory foam out of my boat that covers the bulk head. Is it possible to order more foam from wavesport that is precut? or would a place like NOC have that type of thing?
Thanks
Charlie
