It's time to get all four paws wet and wild!

Paws up, dog lovers! It’s time to ride the waves and fetch some glory at the Annual World Dog Surfing Championships on AUGUST 2, 2025 from 9am - 1:30pm!

Whether you’re a canine surfing champ or just love to walk on the beach with your pup, this event is sure to be a tail-wagging good time. From dog surfing to pet adoptions, shopping, and more, there’s something for every two- and four-legged friend.

So, leash up your best bud and get ready to make some waves—and maybe even take home the gold! Plus, a portion of the proceeds will benefit dog-related nonprofits, helping pups in need. It’s a win-win, fur sure!** 🐾🌊
