Description
Yup, this is a real life thing, and it’s pretty popular in California! Residents of Huntington Beach (and even some from as far as Texas) bring their pooches to take part in the Surf City Surf Dog Competition. This annual 3 day event takes place in late September and puts dogs of every shape and size to the test when it comes to riding waves. Heats are categorised by the size of the dog (small, medium and large) and finalists are determined by how many waves they successfully ride to the shore.
The atmosphere at this event is fantastic. Hundreds gather around to watch their favourite hounds show off their surf skills and you’ll find a whole host of beach stalls selling everything from foodie treats, pampering goods and even fancy dress outfits. There’s food, live music, games, Pugs dressed as mermaids and Chihuahuas in bikinis…what more could you want?
