Dog Surfing Championship Draws Terrible Puns
As the world’s best competitive surfers battle it out at one of California’s most iconic waves, the dog-eat-dog world of U.S. competitive canine surfing put on a showcase nary a few shakes of the tail down the coast, at Del Mar Main Beach, San Diego on the 14th of September.

6 year old Pomeranian Bobby Gorgeous took out the main event from a crowd of dogged competitors – Pugs to Pinscher, Burmese to Border Collies – it was shown that in the world of competitive canine surfing, every dog has its day.
Of the win, Gorgeous was rabid, “I didn’t think I had a chance, that bitch that was ripping (Fluffy Smith). I snuck a couple while she was gnawing away at her fleas, and then that bigger one I got when she was sniffing Peanut’s arse… it was a screamer…next thing I knew, the buzzer sounded and I was top dog.”
Contest director Michael ‘Chew-Toy’ Arms, was wrapped with the event. ‘It just doesn’t get any greater than San Diego showing its love for dogs and surfing.’ With 4000 people on the beach, doubling attendance from the previous year’s competition, if the exponential trend continues as such, by 2020, the event will host over 8 million spectators. Nothing to bark at…
Next year, the aim is to take the contest to a global level with competitors from around the world. Fur will fly on the qualifying series as the world’s best strive to ignore the urge to chase their tail and sniff their own butt and string a decent combination of turns together. Only the most trained and focused will bound into the U.S. in a year’s time and they will be hounding Gorgeous for his title…
‘Chew-Toy’ Arms summed the day and future event aspirations perfectly, “What could be more fun!?!”
What indeed.
