Dozens of dog surfers had fun surfing over the weekend.
Dogs and their owners competed Saturday in the World Dog Surfing Championships in Pacifica, Northern California.
The tail waggers who participated in the competition were classified according to their size.
Four-legged participants were judged on their style, skill and ability to stay on the board.
Dog surfing championships raise money for charities and promote the adoption of homeless dogs.
A lot of money is needed to organize the competition. If the sport wasn’t so popular, the event probably wouldn’t have been put together this year, he says The San Francisco Standard.
According to the newspaper, the traditional race was on the verge of cancellation until fans raised $10,000 last spring to cover the increased costs.
