Bankruptcy shakes the surf industry

Last week the surf world: Surfline | WHAT'S NEXT was shocked by the closure of Clark Foam. Clark Foam makes an estimated 60-70% of the foam blanks that are the raw materials of shapers to make surfboards. This is a HUGE hit to a very small industry. There have been runs on surfboards and talk of a shortage. This is an unfortunate imposition of business reality on the normally idilic world of surfing. I am glad I stocked up last year!
