Todd Proctor, who has patented a surfboardmaking process using Kevlar and epoxy resin, says demand is up sevenfold, and he has attracted venture capital to purchase Clark's distribution channel. SurfTech, the largest maker of epoxy boards, reports that business has doubled. Insiders say the search for new materials could mark...
