Dogs from around the country took part in this SoCal competition, which also served as a fundraiser for the San Diego Police Department's canine unit. Here's TJ letting loose on a wave. He sure is one cool cat ... errr, dog.![Buddy]()
Each dog had 10 minutes to show its stuff while judges noted the length of the dog's ride, its confidence and whether or not it could "grip it and rip it." With that focus, Buddy here must've scored well.![Buddy & Owner Bruce]()
Fear not, animal lovers. The dogs were equipped with special harnesses and flotation devices so their owners can keep them safe.![Loews_Surf_Dog_Bobby]()
There were three different heats for the dogs to compete in: small dogs, large dogs and tandem. Ranging from 5-pound Pomeranians to 85-pound Bernese Mountain Dogs, there's not much question which heat Bobby here competed in.![Pudge]()
Cheer up, Pudge! Organizers say the number of dogs surfing is on the rise thanks in part to Internet sensation -- and fellow bulldog -- Tillman the skateboarding dog.![Pudge & Owner Mark]()
The Surf Dog Competition is an extension of Loews Hotels’ Loews Loves Pets program and has become a successful fundraiser for local pet-related charities.![Kalani & Ricochet]()
The champs are here! Kalani (left) and littermate Ricochet, also known as the Twisted Sisters, won the Tandem Heat at the Surf Dog Competition this past Saturday.![Hailey]()
First-time surfer Hailey -- a 1-year-old lab and part of Team Canidae -- seemed to really enjoy the competition.![Bully Good Time]()
This bulldog is all smiles as it shows that it can hang 20 with the best of them. Whoever said a dog day afternoon was a bad thing?![Zoey & Owner Scott]()
Apparently dogs like riding around on surfboards just as much as they like riding in cars. Zoey here is enjoying a ride led by owner Scott.![Marmaduke on Duty]()
It wasn't all fun and games however, as "lifeguard" and movie star Marmaduke had a keen eye on the competitors![Marmaduke]()
As if a day of surfing wasn't enough fun, many of the dogs that competed last year also landed roles in the upcoming "Marmaduke" movie -- which will, of course, include a dog-surfing scene.Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition
See Spot...surf? That was the case this past Saturday as over 65 hounds hit the surf at the Fifth Annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition held in Imperial Beach, California.
