From The Mayors Office

Well for those of you that may not have heard, "CLARK FOAM" is no more! The government (EPA) shut him down. No more Clark foam=no more surfboards as we know them. Blank prices are going to sky-rocket and when the blanks are gone? On the good side, less boards=less new surfers. Lets hope someone will step up with a solution so that all the great craftsmen who create our boards won't be lost . More later-------maybe

P.S. For those of you who don't know why Clark foam is so important, He supplied 85to90 percent of the worlds foam blanks. Most of the longboard blanks used today are his and his alone and no one else has the molds to reproduce them. Enjoy the boards you ride today, they are now part of surfing history.

This is a ploy for Clark to create a foam shortage to raise blank prices. Harold Walker is surfing history, not Grubby. The important part is who's going to hire all the illegals Clark gave jobs.

Hi all, don't blame Tleaga--blame the Surfrider Foundation for snitching on Clark. Every one of you Clark Foam devotees should burn your tee shirts in protest. Baywatch II hit the head right on the nail, wondering who's going to hire all Clark's illegal workers.

OK! Lets boycot surfing, lets get everyone to not go surfing or buy surfing related products for 1 year. The only ones to be allowed to surf should be people with over 40yrs surfing experience, and as for Grubby Clark, if its found out that he's doing this to raise the price of blanks,screw him, we'll all ride SurfTecs, then he and his illegals can sit on the wall at DeNaults.

Anonymous, I think I remember that 11'2" DeNault. Oh Wait! I was thinking of ReNault. Wait a minute, didn't Opey Wert ride a DeNault and drive a ReNault?
