Once the contest is over, the fun really starts.

At this year’s Velzy Contest and Luau we had a packed house and tons of good vibes.

The award’s ceremony was a blast filled with the best riders in their divisions.

Thank you all to who came out and volunteered, without your efforts and energy this event couldn’t happen, thank you to our sponsors for generously donating the prizes, food and extra support during this event. As well as all the folks that just came down to support from the sand.

Aloha everyone.

Here’s a little tradition we just might need to bring back. Burning of a wooden surfboard before the club’s annual Velzy Contest and Luau.

In the first image you can see Dale Velzy himself signing the board before it’s sacrificed.

We can’t wait to see y’all in a couple of weeks for the 2024 contest.

We all miss you Dale. ♥️♥️♥️

Have a great weekend everyone.

This past weekend we had the enjoyment of participating in Oceanside Longboard Surfing Club’s (@oceansidelongboardsurfingclub) annual Coalition surf event.

It was a really amazing event as always and a few of the team members did really well. Gavin Idone (@gavinidone.surf) took first place in Jr. Men’s, the lovely Liv Stokes took 2nd in the women’s division and 2nd in the talent filled Queen of the Pier event the OLSC holds. Jessica Taft took 6th in the Senior Women’s division and the DLSA Team took 6th out of a field of 20 clubs.

Big congrats to everyone that made it down to Oceanside and as always a big thank you, mahalo and aloha to the OLSC for hosting this amazing event every year.

We are still super stoked on last month’s Menehune & Rockin’ 60s event. The photos are still rolling in.

We would love to thank Hobie Surf Shop (@hobiesurfshop) for their generous support that they always give the DLSA. Hobie was kind enough to help the club get some amazing new jerseys for the event, the let us have a Pre-Party bash at their beautiful shop in Dana Point, the goodie bags at the contests and just their overall support of the club. Hobie has deep, deep roots in Dana Point and the surf culture of Southern California, so it is a continual blessing to work with this amazing group.
