Event Overview:
See Spot surf during the Loews Dog Surfing Competition – the nation’s original surfing competition for man’s best friend. There’s no dog paddling for these surf dogs. Canine counterparts are invited to hang 10 (errr, 20) for a great cause..
Last year, close to 60 brave surf dogs took to the waves and thousands of spectators gathered to watch the dog surfing event unfold. The competition garnered national and international media attention, and more than $10,000 was raised for the resort’s non-profit partner, Modest Needs Foundation. This year’s event should be even better.
