Hounds Rule at the World Dog Surfing Championships

 

The competition was fierce, the waves unpredictable, the breaching whales in the background a bit distracting, and thousands of fans enjoyed the 2nd Annual World Dog Surfing Championships in Pacifica near San Francisco, where over 3 dozen amateurs and top dog surfers participated in the event.
