 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.
