On November 14, 2015, the city of Hermosa Beach unveiled at its Community Center a sculpture inspired by a photo of Dewey Weber taken by surf photographer Leroy Grannis.
Weber's short, stocky frame (5'3", 130 pounds) helped him to earn a varsity letter in wrestling in his very first year of high school.
He became an All-State performer at El Camino College, and although he subsequently qualified for the Olympic wrestling team, an injury immediately before the games prevented him from competing.
In the 1973 George Lucas film American Graffiti, Mackenzie Phillips' character, Carol, wears a white T-shirt with a Dewey Weber logo on it.
In the film "Ford V Ferrari", a Dewey Weber store is seen across the street from main character Carol Shelby's car dealership set in Southern California's 1965.
Weber's widow Caroline, and his sons Shea and Corey, revived the business together and continue to operate, in San Clemente.
Shea opened a new Dewey Weber retail location in San Luis Obispo in 2020 selling New Surfboards, Tshirts/soft goods, and accessories.
