Here are the canines of California who are taking ‘doggy paddle’ to a whole new level.
These sea dogs hit the waves in Huntington Beach's 2021 Surf Dog Competition and as you can see the competitors were happy to be back after the pandemic wiped out last year’s event.
Competitors had 12 minutes to catch their top five waves and were judged on confidence level, length of ride and overall ability to ride.
While many of the pooches were taking the contest pretty seriously, it was clear that most just went along for the ride.
