I was down in Lil’ Manila on Sat. getting an adjustment from my wife’s cousin the chiropractor. Guy has a real talent for cracking necks, but is out of work at the moment so he was working on me at his mom’s house. We started talking about surfing and he mentioned that he had one of my Father In Law’s (FIL) old boards out in the garage so we go out to look at it. He’d gotten it second hand from the FIL’s personal quiver. Funny thing is, I’ve got a FIL’s cast off that is exactly the same board except for graphics and what not. Anyway, sitting out next to this old beater was a Clark Foam Blank in perfect shape. I didn’t pull it down to see the maker’s marks, but I figure it’s gotta be either a 6’8’P or a 6’9”A. All I know is I’ve been looking for an excuse to shape a fish or quad all summer, can’t think of a better one than finding an old Clark that hasn’t been marked up 1000% at Mitch’s. Only thing standing in my way is the wife’s Aunt, woman is a hoarder. Getting the blank out of her is going to be like pulling teeth, just have to convince her somehow.
