Dog Surfing Photographs

This Surf Dog Contest Includes Costumes and a Red Carpet

The Surf City Surf Dog competition has everything both humans and canines could want in one place. Aside from the dog surfing itself, the competition includes a red carpet that includes "pupparazi," a contest for best costume and an International Surf Dog Walk of Fame that recognizes the top three dogs.

While some of the pups undoubtedly appear a little worried, there are others who look like they've been preparing for this moment their whole lives. The entire event is for charity, raising money for various dog rescue organizations.
