World Dog Surfing Championships Livestream Hybrid Event Make Sports History

The World Dog Surfing Championships and TasteTV thank all of the fantastic dog surfers (and humans) who took part in the 2020 Livestream Hybrid Event. To our knowledge no other sports has ever attempted to organize and produce an event that utilizes the video and tech capabilities of Zoom to broadcast a live competition via livestream from multiple locations and multiple teams.

This was an historic, first-of-its-kind event, including both the heats live-streamed directly from various beaches across North America, as well as featuring recorded video from 2020. Realtime viewers and aficionados of the sport watching on Facebook Live numbered in the several thousand, and the amount of fans continues to grow daily as they watch and share the video replay of the event on Facebook.

Because of the unique nature of the Championships and the scarcity of live sports events at this time, enjoyment of the dog surfing event was extremely high.  A side effect was that judging was an unexpected challenge due to the great coordinated efforts of all of the surf dogs.
