When it comes to surfing, these dogs are paws ahead of the rest.
The annual World Dog Surfing Championships was held on the weekend northern California in America, with mutts and pedigrees lining up to hang 10 with the best of the best.

Dogs were judged on the length of the ride, technique, confidence, and the size or strength of the wave.

Surfing categories were open to small, medium and large dogs; with ‘dog/dog tandem’ and ‘human/dog tandem’ categories putting on a spectacular show.
For the non-surfy type of dog, there was also action on the sand with the always-popular Dog Beach Fashion competition and it attracted the finest looking pooches in the US.
The championship has been running since 2016 and it also gives rescue dogs the chance to find a new home.
“There was really nice weather, great waves,” organisers said.
