I'm curious on what you guys use for a punch shield. I want some light and still be legal. I keep hearing like a plastic boogie board or something like that?? Link me to something. Trying to get things patched up before Aug 30th. Wanting to make it to Ft. Wayne and be prepared.

Polyethylene is the standard choice for a punch shield (known as PE commonly)
it comes in all sorts of colors and such, white, blue, black, gray, teal, pink...
from my experience the blue and the white are the best (some tend to be squishier than others)
you can use a boogie board, but they tend to be very seasonal, can be expensive, and occasionally they have a hard plastic face/cover.
I havent had any luck with the boogie boards but ive seen alot of eryndorrim with them.
so far i dont know of any good place to get PE foam online, i tend to buy it from other dag guys, or sometimes people donate it to me from the friendly neighborhood construction site...illegally.
you'll want the foam you get to be 2-3 inches thick, usually. i got several planks of 1.5inch thick white PE foam, and they broke down and taco'd alot.
