(KRON) — If getting your paws wet and “hanging 10 with man’s best friend” sounds like your idea of a good time, then you’re in luck.
The World Dog Surfing Competition returns to Pacifica, California, this weekend and dog surfers from across the U.S. will compete in the waves at Pacifica State Beach.
The sport, which sees dog surfers competing to “bring home the gold,” originated in California and sees dogs competing to raise money for local charities.
In addition to the canine surfing competition, Saturday’s event also features a dog beach fashion contest, dog adoptions, partner tents and other activities.
The competition describes itself as “the premier dog surfing event in the world” and is put on by the team that conceived and pioneered the concept of dog surfing competitions.
The World Dog Surfing Competition takes place on Saturday, Aug. 3 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Pacifica State Beach, also known locally as Linda Mar Beach.
