Economic Shifts

Good article in the L.A. Times on continuing turmoil in the Southern California surfboard industry since the 2005 shutdown of Clark Foam, attributed at the time by Clark to California’s unfavorable legal environment for the business.  The article discusses the changes in the industry, including the flood of low cost imports into the gap created by Clark’s departure from the market, and discusses to the downstream closure and other problems of a number of other Southern California businesses.

 Thursday a.m., January 10, 2008: This was one of three kids that failed at paddling out in the big surf, so he and a friend walked out down the jetty then entered the water from the rocks right at the break. Despite his demonstrated lack of other skills (i.e., he got pummeled), he did pretty good on the entry and didn't kill himself on the rocks. He eventually drifted in to shore and was walking out on the jetty again as I was leaving.
