Canine Surfing

About 50 dogs decked out loud Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses took to the waves for the largest canine surfing event in the US.

Animals of all shapes and sizes competed to be top dog in the sixth annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition, held at Imperial Beach in California.


Competition was split into categories for small surf dogs under 40lb, and their larger counterparts.

A separate category was held for dogs and their owners surfing together on the same board.

Top dogs were awarded a VIP - Very Important Pet - holiday at the San Diego resort, and a feature in Modern Dog Magazine.


Chasing the waves: dog shows off his skills

All proceeds from the event were donated to DonorsChoose.org, which provides a space for public teachers in San Diego to get funding for school supplies from private sponsors.

    If I wasn't landlocked I would teach my dog to surf. Suppose though I would have to learn to surf myself first.

    It's amazing that dogs can surf, but that can't stand up in the back of a car.

    Is there just something about English bull dogs that makes them awesome at extreme sports? It's like the skateboarding bull dog from Rob & Big.
