From Left to right is Bob “The Greek” Bolen, Mike Marshall, Jock Sutherland, Bob “Ole” Olsen, and Mike Eaton. We were at Randy Raricks “Surf Auction” and were gathered at the Outrigger for one the evening festivities. These guys are all great!

The Tom Blake Hollow Paddle & Surfboard
Accomplished legendary waterman, Tom Blake was one of the first to construct a hollowed board in 1929. Based on the ancient Hawaiian olo designs, his chambered hollowed boards were used for surfing and paddle boarding. This basic design was later patented by Blake and further refined and used until the late 1940s.

20th Annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau comes to a close

Gary Stellen of MSA enjoys his win in the Grand Masters Legend Division

Dana Point, California 
September 26, 2009

The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association’s 20th Annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau is now in the record books. The event featured everything from classic longboarding, to breathtaking tandem to the newer Stand Up Paddle (SUP) competition and more. Several inspired performances and great last minute clutch surfing capped off the one day event.

The men’s 20 to 29 age group featured over-the-top surfing from both Max Dexter and Bucky Barry of Dana Point who demonstrated incredible style and maneuvers in the smallish but fun surf. Dexter eventually won out over Barry - each showed incredible sportsmanship.

This year’s event consisted of two competitive surfing areas that were judged simultaneously by two separate judging stations. The configuration enabled SUP surfing and Tandem divisions to surf and work their way to the finals in the afternoon.

The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association has held the Dale Velzy event for 20 years at Doheny State Beach and it is one of the most cherished events of the club’s year long schedule. This year’s program was no exception. Nyle Schafhauser, Doheny Longboard Club President, stated,” This year’s event was especially exciting because we were able to add a SUP division that showed just how far the sport has come with their exceptional wave surfing abilities. Plus, we love to pay homage to the great Dale Velzy every year as a remembrance to all the great things he did for surfing”.
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. For additional information contact Denny Michael at dlsa10@hotmail.com

Dale Velzy Remembered

Dale Velzy Remembered:
20th Annual Surf Classic Named in his Honor to be Held this Weekend at Doheny


DANA POINT, Calif., September 21st, 2009 - The Doheny Longboard Surfing Associations (DLSA) annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau is a big go for this Saturday. Each year hundreds of surfers and their families gather at Doheny State Beach to honor one of surfing’s most iconic figures.

Dale Velzy’s influence on surfing is wide spread and full of colorful stories. In Malcolm Gault-Williams’ website information on Velzy he quotes several surf legend remembrances:

"Without Velzy," said surfboard shaper Donald Takayama, "there wouldn't be a modern day longboard. Basically what the shortboard people are making with the wider tails and the abruptly pulled in noses are just a takeoff on Dale's bump boards."

"We were all kamikaze pilots," said Henry Ford about the gremmies that grew to be legends, apprenticed under Velzy, "going on our last mission and Velzy ran the airport."

Dale Velzy who passed away in 2005 is a very special person in the hearts of many surfers; this is especially true to the Doheny Longboard club. The club has been honored to host this venue for many years. Dale enjoyed many things in life but mostly having fun with friends and family. It is in that spirit that the DLSA holds this annual event. The open venue has many aspects to enjoy; everything from the classic surf contest, to the luau and the Polynesian review to dancing under the stars at Doheny with a live band, and just having a great time.

“Everything is in place to make this year’s program a very special one indeed. We are all hoping for good waves and weather to round out the festivities,” said Nyles Schafhauser, DLSA President.

This year’s event kicks off with the surf contest at 6:30 a.m. The Luau festivities begin at 3:00 p.m. followed closely by the Polynesian review, awards ceremony, raffles and then on to the dancing. It’s great fun for everyone.

1937 Tom Blake Board Plans

Some of Blakes contributions include the first hollow-core wood paddle board, which was responsible for saving thousands of lives, first sailboard, waterproof camera housing, first surfboard fin and the torpedo rescue buoy, who’s design is still in use today. But perhaps Tom Blakes most enigmatic contribution, is as the father of the “surfing lifestyle,” a pursuit that has, does and will continue to give meaning, faith and spirit to countless surfers pursuing that perfect wave!

Timmy Turner and Second Thoughts at the Surfing Heritage Foundation

August 2009, San Clemente, CA – Timmy Turner, Director of the award winning surf film, Second Thoughts, will appear at the Surfing Heritage Foundation’s Friday Afternoon Surf Film Series on August 28th at 3 pm. Turner, local soul surfer from Huntington Beach, has made the waters of Indo his home away from home. Second Thoughts was a Surfer Magazine Surfer Poll Awards Best Movie winner.

Alone on an uninhabited Indonesian island in the middle of nowhere, Timmy and his friends, Brett Swartz and Travis Potter, are dropped off for a month. Once there, they have "second thoughts" about their month-long island stay. While braving the elements with little food and water, what follows is some of the most amazing surf footage on the sickest reefs in Indo.

Turner's talent in surfing and filmmaking has impressed fans around the world. In 2004, after the devastating earthquake in Indonesia, Timmy, Kristian McQue, and Dustin Humphries delivered 75 tons of relief supplies to the islands located at the epicenter of the quake. This humanitarian effort was documented in the film, Tsunami Diaries: Voyage To The Epicenter.

Meet Timmy at the Surfing Heritage on Friday, August 28th, and watch the matinee screening of Second Thoughts starting at 3 pm. Admission is only $3 (free for SHF members) and includes free popcorn!

Hawaiian Surf Auction:

We had a nice south swell while we were on Oahu. A steady 4 to 6 feet and off shore conditions. Not as many people surfing this year as in the past summers as the economy has certainly put a damper on travel. I attended the Hawaiian Surf Auction and saw over 100 surf related items change hands with over $750,000 going through the auctioneer’s gavel. A Matt Kivlin board went for $39,000 breaking the bar set 2 years ago for an 11-foot Buzzy Trent Model "Surfboards Hawaii" elephant gun that sold for $33,000.

With 379 registered bidders and thousands of interested viewers, it was the most well received auction to date. In attendance were the legends and the legends to be of our sport such as Joe Quigg, Matt Kivlin, Greg & Jed Noll, Bing Copeland, Matt Calvani, Bob "The Greek" Bolan, Bob "Ole" Olson, Dick Brewer, Mike Eaton, Ben Aipa, Charlie Galanto, Henry Preece, Buffalo Keaulana, Kimo Hollinger, Peter Townend, Bill Barnfield, Chuck Andrus, Mark Richards, Jock Sutherland, Rick Value,Ricky Grigg, Fred Hemmings, Danny Mack, Joey Cabell, Kathy "Gidget" Kohner- Zukerman, Bob Lundy, Dick Hoole, Jack McCoy and dozens of others.

1961: SURFING | It must have seemed like a good idea at the time, but Honolulu Police Officer Mitchell Chang didn't think so. He pulled this unidentified cycling surfer "over to the side" on Kalakaua Avenue for a lecture on safety. He agreed the man had an ingenious way of getting himself and his surfboard to the beach, but advised caution. The cyclist was seen afterward walking down the street with the board under one arm and maneuvering the bike with the other.
