Dale Velzy, a.k.a. "The Hawk". Shown here with some long board tail blocks.

 

One of the originals. Started shaping boards as a teen underneath the Manhattan Beach Pier. He will ever be remembered as one of the Pioneers of South Bay surfing, first to use polyeurethane foam for surfboards, a cowboy, a Hot-Rodder, and a master craftsman.

 

The Oahu North Shore break, "Velzyland", carries his name.

 

You are sorely missed, amigo.
