It seems that environmentalism, which so much a part of California culture, has won out over another major icon of the left coast: surfing. Gordon “Grubby” Clark, one of the two entrepreneurs who revolutionized surf board manufacturing, is calling it quits due to mounting environmental pressures. From CNN.com:
In a seven-page letter to suppliers seen by Reuters on Wednesday, Clark cited weariness in a lengthy battle with environmental regulators over the manufacture of the foam blanks, or rough surfboard shapes, that go inside about two-thirds of U.S. made surfboards.
Dude!?!?
