18th
Annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau Draws Crowds
It
was a great sunny day with good surf as the Doheny Longboard Surfing
Association ran its 18th annual Dale Velzy Classic at Doheny State Beach on
September 15, 2007. The event boasted surfers ranging in age from eight to
over 70.
A great crowd of supporters framed the beach as each round of surfers began
their respective heats. The event held over a nine hour period from 6:30
a.m. to 3 p.m. was filled with great surfing. Newly minted 70-year old
Mickey Munoz won his first “70 and up” division riding a sponge board! This
was just two weeks after his now legendary birthday party was held at the
very same beach. With typical Munoz aplomb, he surfed better than ever.
Some of the most incredible surfing of the day however, was the junior men
and women age groups. They really ripped the two to three foot surf with
flawless precision. Some of the crowds were so appreciative of their
advanced surfing that during the hotly contested semis and finals they were
standing on the beach applauding their exceptional skills.
The Velzy family were in attendance during the luau and very appreciative of
the event held in Dale’s honor. Polynesian dancers and a live band capped
the fun-filled day of classic longboarding, tandem surfing and paddle board
racing. Proceeds from the event are used to support the Doheny Longboard
Surfing Association’s many charities.
The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association is an organization comprised of
individuals dedicated to the enjoyment of board surfing in a clean and
natural environment. In relation to that philosophy, the DLSA will act as a
support group to other organizations with similar views and objectives.
