HooplaHa caught up with some of these furry friends at the 8th annual Loews Coronado Bay Surf Dog Competition in California. Catching some waves and keeping it cool, these pups are way more impressive at surfing than the average human. And what makes it even better, is that the event raised more than $20,000 for the ASPCA.
Watch the video here and you may see an appearance by our pal Tillman, the skateboarding Bulldog!

OMD I am sure FInn would just jump right into the water and Charley would just stand still on the board, afraid he would fall into the water!
ReplyDeleteSurfing is a great core workout. Good for Rocco's training!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it but I probably would like it and with my shorter legs balancing would be a bit easier than for a tall dog!
ReplyDeleteCute! My dogs haven't been to the ocean, so no surfing. I never thought to try it in a pool. Somehow, I don't think Maya & Pierson will go for it.
ReplyDeleteThat's is PAWsome. I did not like being on a surfboard when I was in HI. Youa re ready for next year's competition. Happy FitDog Friday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteLove the surfing dogs- we did a story on them too. Have a great weekend too!
ReplyDeleteFORTY surfing dogs?? I didn't know that many dogs knew how to do it. I am going to try paddleboarding with Chester and Gretel. It basically standing on a huge surf board but we will doing on flat lake water.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine what 40 surfing dogs would be like but I sure would love to see it live...Gizmo and I have reservations for paddleboarding in September but I think surfing is beyond both of us (I've tried it and never could stand up for more than a few seconds)...Speaking of Tillman, we were watching old episodes of One Tree Hill the other day (totally vegging in front of the TV) and saw two where Tillman plays a skateboarding dog name Dogust...he stole the show
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteThey are also known for the skate shoes that they manufacture. Globe longboards are the most appreciated among people. longboards
ReplyDeleteSurfing demands a lot of physical strength and flexibility because you will have to move your body in accordance to the waves that are hitting you and therefore you have to be well prepared for it mentality and physically. Banyak Islands
