  1. Beautiful board. . .
    and Dale Velzy was such an amazing man, with a great sense of humor, creativity and fun. He is sorely missed. . .

  3. Nice board,

    Is there a 59 or 1959 on the board by the tail?

    Do you see a stringer down the middle?

    Thanks.

  4. when i sanded off the hot coat it had a 3/4" redwood stringer and i did not see any #s but i may take a second look. is that how he dated his boards, i guess is that it is a 59 or 60 due to the velzy time line
