20th Annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau dates selected



The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association’s (DLSA) 20th annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau dates have been selected. Based on the best tides, swell predictions and the luck of the draw the classic venue will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at legendary Doheny State Beach, Dana Point, California.
Open to the public, the event honors one of the most famous surfers and surfboard shapers of all time, Dale Velzy who passed away in 2005. The club has been honored to produce this event for all surfers who enjoy the same things that Dale enjoyed, having fun with friends and family. It is in that spirit that the DLSA holds this annual event so that everyone in attendance can enjoy everything from the surf contest, the luau, Polynesian review, and dancing under the stars at Doheny with a live band.
“The 20th edition of this surf classic has a very special place in the hearts of all Doheny Longboard Members. Dale Velzy was an extremely special person to us all and this program is our yearly tribute to one of the true pioneers of the sport” 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 dancing. It’s great fun for everyone.
