WDSC SWEATSHIRT: SURF DOG ON WAVE PORTRAIT #1

This live shot of an awesome surf dog has been recreated as a piece of watercolor art, on a warm and snug 50% cotton sweatshirt.
Show you have taste in dogs, cool sports, and modern art. On Your Chest!

DERBY CALIFORNIA HOODIES

World Dog Surfing Champs Derby & California are not only appearing now in Amazon Prime’s new series, The Pack, they also have a new line of groovy hoodies and t-shirts.
Be part of their fan pawparazzi!

A WDSC SURF PACK T-SHIRT

Speaking of Packs, you can form your own when wearing this WDSC Surf Pack long-sleeve t-shirt
You can call your pack whatever you want, BTW. Just not “Sam”

PET RENU SHAMPOO FOR CLEAN DOGS

Keep your (or a friend’s) pup clean, fresh, and flea free with this line of dog shampoos from Pet Renu.
A clean dog is a happy dog (owner).

FUN PET SERVICES AT WAG HOTELS

Wag Hotels is a great place to board your pet while on a trip away, but even if you stay in town it’s also great for daycare, training, and even stylish grooming.
Makes a nice gift certificate for 2021 too.

HANKS DOG STUFF POOP TRANSPORTER

Because when “someone’s got to go” someone else has to clean it up.
At least look stylish and prepared while doing it.

KEEP THEM DRY AND WARM IN A STUNT PUPPY JACKET

In the winter it’s colder and usually wetter… even if you have fur.
Stunt Puppy jackets will take care of that problem for the dog in your life. And, they look pretty cool too.

PET CBD FROM VETCBD

If your dog or cat has any issues like these then VETCBD can:
-Support joint mobility
-Support normal brain function
-Help maintain normal GI health
-Help promote calmness
BTW, not officially tested on humans, in case you have any bright ideas.

URBAN DENIM LOUNGE BED FROM PET P.L.A.Y.

You might want to curl up on this lounge bed yourself, but you’ll just have to stay on your sad old couch.
Lead-free zippers for chewers, Eco-friendly all around, and machine washable.

TASTY DOG-THEMED WINE FROM MUTT LYNCH WINERY

A long-time partner of the WDSC, Muttlynch is based in Sonoma County, and you know what that means.
Yup, It means that their wine is delicious.
Also, all of their bottles have dogs on them.

A COLD BOTTLE OF ALE FROM PEDRO POINT BREWING

OK, maybe it’s not just Ale.
It’s “Ale-armingly“ good! LOL
They also have Pilsners, IPAs, and Sour and Fruit beers too. And they LOVE dogs

A HIP NEW COLLAR FROM DOOG

What self-respecting pooch wants to wear the collar you have on them now? The answer, none! Or maybe, let’s say, a very small number.
DOOG has collars that your friends will stop you and say, “Dude, where did you get that cool collar, and why didn’t you get me one for the Holidays?” And you’ll be like, “Dude, I did!”

DOG FOOD AT PET FOOD EXPRESS

Because a dog’s gotta eat, so you might as well make it the best “eatings” they can get, from a wide selection and with the help of a knowledgeable and friendly staff.
They can also give that pup a good Holiday wash and trim, now or in 2021.

A DOG BANDANA FROM CALIFORNIA CANINE

You know the old saying, “If you really love someone, you’ll give them a cool dog bandana.” So, how much love do you have? That bandana needs to be on someone special’s gift list.
BTW, California Canine has other cool accessories too.

WORLD DOG SURFING CHAMPIONSHIPS V2 COTTON CAP

We guarantee, you wear this hat, people will talk to you. Or at least give you great service. And a smile.
In 2020, that’s a lot.

THE GOUGHNUTS DOG TOY, YOU CAN THROW IT AND THEY CAN CHEW IT. EVERYONE IS HAPPY

You throw, they bring it back, then they chew on it. Maybe they don’t even bring it back, maybe they just sit down and have a good gnaw. A very good, happy, healthy, satisfying gnaw. That’s what a dog really wants. You can tell, this gift idea is just gnawing at you

SUPPORT ROCKET DOG RESCUE

A nice donation or adoption goes a long way to changing a life.

SUPPORT PENINSULA HUMANE SOCIETY

Saying it twice, because it’s still true.
A nice donation or adoption goes a long way to changing a life.

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.
