DescriptionThis foam board has a pastel chalk fish design drawn by artist Mike Dormer. It was shaped by Velzy shop manager Del Cannon in the mid-summer of 1960. It was then glassed and glossed by Billy Clamp of Ocean Beach and sanded by Raymond Patterson, the youngest of the three Patterson brothers. This is one of the last surfboards produced under the Velzy brand, as Velzy ceased operations at the end of the summer of 1960.On View
