Love surfing dogs? We sure do, and one of the premium surfing dog festivals is held each year at Huntington Beach California. This year, the 5th surfing dog event held at Huntington, Haole, Tillman, Abbie Girl, Bentley, Kona Kai and Hanzo/Kalani wibthe top spots in the six dog surfing divisions.

Surf City Surf Dog participants competed in weight class categories, and were judged on a variety of skills, including the ability to complete the entire ride on the surfboard.

Hanging 20 is not easy, but riding backwards and performing tricks is even harder. The Surf City Surf Dog showed there are new stars in the making.

Boards were equipped with mounted GoPro cameras. Levels of performance are increasing, every year.

"We want to see him having fun with all the other dogs and coming up for a day on the beach," says Tina Walters, owner of Stickers.

Loui has been considered the "Crowd Pleaser", while the Sugar scored the "Best Wipeout".
