When’s the last time you saw a pile of Clark blanks like this? Grubby, long time friend of GL’s who lives just north of him these days on a 1000 acre ranch, sold him a big last shipment before shutting down the factory, which GL has been slowly shaping his way through. Deadpan quote from him in the water a couple of years ago - “I’ll probably retire from shaping after I’ve shaped the last one.”

I love his little smurk when he grabs a blank outa the pile.
Probably doesn't have anymore stashed than I do. He said he liked my T-Shirt (Clark Foam) when I saw him out back of Pelican's this past summer. Lowel PS Everybody speaks of 1000 acres when they mention Grubby's ranch, but I would think from what I have heard that it is most likly several thousand acres. Sheep require alot of range. I know the SOB cruises this site occasionally, but he'll never set us straight.
I thought the general consensus was that there was better foam out there now?

Looks like a nice building. Is it his factory? In Bend?
ya, his warehouse/shop in Bend…
haven’t seen him on a surfboard in 5 years, strictly SUP’s the OR coast…and does it as well as he ever surfed…
