The sport of surfing is in turmoil after the world's largest producer of the foam blocks used to make surfboards closed down, citing over-regulation.
Polyurethane foam "blanks" produced by California-based Gordon Clark are used to make many of the world's surfboards.

Mr Clark, who helped invent the modern all-foam surfboard, says environmental regulations forced him out of business.
Quite ironic.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Wow, for once, I can't post "Only in America".

This sh!t is supposed to happen in Germany, not the US.
