Are Clark Foam Blanks worth anything? I have one laying around and will probably never get around to shaping it.

There is actually a national ban on some of the materials that were found to be used by Clark Foam in the making of the blanks. Hence the shutdown, as previously mentioned. The remaining blanks were, and can be, collected by a city disposal team but require a disposal fee since the materials are hazardous.

Check this source:

Any way, long story short. It is gonna cost you money to throw 'em away. Ill take em off your hands for free.

My post clark foam boards all hold up better than pre clark. Bammbamm can take credit for that though since almost all of my boards since then were glassed by him.

That was an interesting LAT article, that should be required reading for anyone in the surf industry.
Definitely, it's about time things changed... For the better

i've really liked all my boards post-Clark. just as much if not more than Clark blanks. glassing has a lot to do with the overall board performance too.
