    Surf's up, dog: The pups that caught waves at Surfing Championships

    By Claire Reilly,

    If you weren't at Pacifica on the weekend, you missed the world's cutest day at the beach.

    Driving the news: The 2024 World Dog Surfing Championships took place at Pacifica State Beach on Saturday, with dogs of all sizes (kitted out in their little wetsuits) riding the waves in front of a huge cheering crowd.


    How it works: The dogs got an assist from their humans, who helped to guide the boards out into the water, positioning them on the waves. But from there, it was all up to the puppers.

    • They balanced themselves on the boards and jumped off at the end to doggy paddle into the waiting arms of helpers on the sand.
    • The pets clearly loved it! And there were plenty of canine friends watching from the beach with their owners.

    My thought bubble: Forget the Olympics. This is the only sport I follow now.
