Gordon Clark, the founder of the leading producer of polyurethane foam blanks from the early 1960s through 2005, is an inevitable brand in the history of surfing. Clark was born on the 19th January 1931 in Gardena, Los Angeles, and he was raised in Whittier. He learned to ride waves while attending Pomona College in the late 1940s and early 1950s. His first surfboard was made of redwood and weighed 90 pounds. Before hitting 20, Clark had already learned the secrets behind surfboard shaping with Tom Blake and Bob Simmons.
