Just got the call Dale passed this morning. Via con Dios Amigo you will be missed.

Got two of the man’s boards in my garage. Actually, about 10 this morning, 4est dinged one of them (gotcha bro 
) right below Jack O’Neill’s house. Wonder if that was the point occurrence in the cosmos which tipped the odds out of Dale’s favor.
He lived it and will be missed.
RIP Hawk.
Dale Velzy had a profound impact on Surfing, both in innovation and spirit. I think every living shaper today has been directly or indirectly influenced by him. What a gift he was to us all. Aloha, Dale.
thanks for the inspiration, we all owe you greatly!!
He’s taking a huge chunk of southern California cultural history with him. Surfboards, hotrods, motorcycles, caballaro…he’ll be missed for sure.
in the words of ambrose…
multinational corperations dont surf
God bless Velzy
put a drain plug in a Quigg hollow balsa 22’ 14# board in the 50’s
appropriate application of tech-knowlege
Quigg aint a kook ,Velzy aint a kook
all the rest of us are by comparison.
lets go surfin and learn sumpthin’
Sad news. He will be missed. Bye Dale! Your legend will live for many generations!!!
may we grok Velzy completly in the now and here after
in the name of the fathers
the sun
and the eternal spirit
Praise Dale Velzy in rhyme and story at every campfire
to let every campfire carry his name skyward
to mingle with the stars and constelations
where he may rest in comfort for eternity…
aloha to the oldest man,
aloha from waipouli … ambrose…
may we live as rich and successful life
he taught us
mucho gusto

VELZY LIVES!
Ambrose amigo, I took my 11’0’’ Velzy out the racks today and ran my hands down the rails, took the dust off and waxed it up. Time to log some trim time on the old girl. I did the lawn, washed my truck this mornin and my wife Big '‘D’'walks out with a Velzy T shirt he gave her years ago, I said why did you were that shirt today , she says I just grabed it ,first one on top, ‘‘chickin skin’’, Via con Dios KP

he talks about the shadowy web
every where we go every one we interact witd we leave a trail
kinda like a thin psychic web like a cosmic spider web
this can be used for all levels of communication
psycic,spiritual,real time beyond time…
so any whey
here we have a very high being
who interacted nonstop witth the world at large
for the greater part of the last century
the lives minds and souls he interacted with
are beyond measure.
this web concept applied
divines another application
that of the net as in the hawaiian throw net
as we well know the net is cast
the weights go to the bottom
and when retracted the weights dragging bottom
corral all the fish in the net and viola family meal
so here we have the velzy spirit ascending
and the shadowy web connected all arround
the weight of these good deeds drag the surface of conciousness
every kind word every board every t-shirt every beaming smile obliges
all these survivors to contemplate a higher form of life
the higher this spirit ascends in the collective minds
the more our gaze is drawn above this mundane mower pushin traffic tolleratin’material world until all these weights draw the all of us together and the velzy spirit is allowed effect us
JUST THINK>>>
this is gonna be a wake to rival all else,
a funeral to shadow the vatican shin dig
the dignitaries will be the royalty of the subculture
a memorial to all we hold dear
any politician will be a gate crasher
all the departed ,like dewy and dora , their attendance is mandatory
to be there would be the experience of a lifetime
a paddle out at the BU?
the mind reels with possibilities
where is the statue gonna be errected?
would he stand for it?
should we get a casting
should it be made from clear resin
will madame Tousand want a shot?
basa says its gonna be on the 11th or the 16 or somthin like that…
tomorrow I’m catchin one for senor hawk
as he soars high above my megar station
surely he can see me better than I can see him
little effects are resounding world wide
as the Velzy effect
permeates to where we cannot hide…
DONT IT FEEL GOOD!!!
and a james Brown yowl chicken skins my whole left side
who needs to hear it when you can feel it…
aloha from waipouli… ambrose…
have mercy on those who resist the velzy effect
