Surfermag.com currently has an article stating that a group in partnership with the blank manufacturer from South Africa will be starting an operation in Tijuana. They expect to begin the first week of March and hope to be in production by May or June. Their goal is 10,000 blanks per month to supply west coast, Hawaii, and Japan.

We've even seen foam shrinkage like the pics of the Spyder Murphy board that I posted.
