19th Annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic This Weekend
Hey all you Gidgets and Moondoggies – it’s time to wax down your boards and throw on your swimsuits and rash guards because it’s time for the Doheny Longboard Surfing Association’s (DLSA) annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic and Luau!!
The big shindig will be held this Saturday, September 20th, at legendary Doheny State Beach, Dana Point, California.
“Down at Doheny where the surfers all go…” is a famous line from the Surfaris’ tune about the surfing lifestyle. Nothing could be more true than this Saturday when the 19th Annual Dale Velzy Surf Classic features a classic longboard surf contest, a traditional Luau with Polynesian dancing and a live band.
The event honors one of the most famous surfers and surfboard shapers of all time, Dale Velzy. DLSA has had the honor of producing this venue for 19 years and has continued its homage to Dale Velzy since he passed away in 2005.
This event is open to the public and is for all surfers who enjoy the same things that Dale enjoyed; having fun with friends and family. It is in this spirit that DLSA holds this annual event so that everyone can enjoy the surf contest, luau, dancing under the stars and having a great time at Doheny.
The 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. It¹s great fun for everyone.
