TasteTV Releases DOG SURFING DIGEST Volume 2

 

We are thrilled to release with TasteTV Volume 2 of the new DOG SURFING DIGEST, an annual/bi-annual lifestyle magazine that celebrates surf dogs, coastal culture, beach travel, food, fashion, and life by the water. Kind of like Surfer Magazine meets Kinfolk meets Modern Dog meets coastal coffee-table annual.

Available exclusively via Amazon.com here

DOG SURFING DIGEST VOLUME 2 is a beautifully photographed celebration of the surf-dog lifestyle—where ocean sport, coastal travel, food, design, and canine companionship come together in a calm yet adventurous world by the sea. Blending the excitement of dog surfing competitions with the slower rhythms of coastal living, this volume explores the culture behind the waves as much as the action on them. From championship surf breaks to quiet beach towns, it captures the balance between athletic performance, nature, and a more intentional outdoor lifestyle. Inside, readers will find striking surf dog photography, behind-the-scenes stories from dog surfing championships, and profiles of the dogs and handlers shaping this global sport. Alongside the competition coverage, Volume 2 expands into a broader lifestyle experience, featuring coastal travel inspiration, simple beach-inspired recipes, and thoughtful tips for traveling with dogs, living near the ocean, and embracing a more relaxed, nature-connected way of life. This issue also highlights elements of surf culture, pet lifestyle trends, and adventure travel with dogs, making it a unique blend of sports magazine, lifestyle journal, and visual art book. Designed with a clean, cinematic aesthetic, Dog Surfing Digest – Volume 2 is more than a magazine—it is a visual escape into a world of salt air, movement, and quiet moments between the waves. A perfect coffee table book, gift for dog lovers, surf enthusiasts, and travel readers, and a collectible for anyone drawn to coastal living, outdoor lifestyle photography, and modern pet culture.
