Hang Twenty, Brah

This weekend in San Diego marked the first annual Dog Surf Competition. Hosted in Imperial Beach, 30+ canines took to the open sea to have fun in the sun and benefit the Pacific Animals Welfare Society (PAWS), a charity organization based out of Coronado designed to find homes for abandoned pets.
Pets and owners alike gathered their boards to show off their slickest moves. Canines were judged on length of ride, confidence, and style based on a 3-wave run. Generally, the smaller breeds had a more successful form because of their low center of gravity, but it didn't stop the big guys from getting out there and giving it their all.
The scene was strewn with Hawaiian shirts, custom boards, and beach boys tunes. Zoe, pictured in the upper left corner, displayed exceptional style and grace on the long board and took home the first place prize. All proceeds went to PAWS to aid in their efforts to build another shelter in the area.
