This invention relates in general to an improved foam blank for a surfcraft and in particular, to an improved reinforced foam blank and a method of manufacturing the same. The foam blank has a top blank face, an opposed bottom blank face, a pair of shaped rails extending between the opposed top and bottom blank faces at blank face edges, an enclosed core space and a midline axis extending between a nose region and a tail region and which divides the foam blank into two substantially equal regions. At least one longitudinally extending slotted aperture is formed in any one or more of the top, the bottom or the rails, such that the slotted aperture extends into the enclosed core space. At least one flexible spine is bonded to be fixed within the at least one longitudinally extending slotted aperture.
