Clinic 4 for Surfing dogs !





Hey All,

Those that came ans listened to us !!! Johanna and Hurley, Andy and Lucy, Journey and his mom and pack of dogs !!! We even got a couple randoms off the beach to hang with us, a 11yr + yorky caught a tandem wave with Rambo the 5 month Mini Wiener dog ! Lil Petey was cut fancy yorky, then when he got wet his moma yelled OMG, I said no no look you can see his lil Muscles he's a tough dude.. anyhow we had fun, Hurley the wild and crazy ball hog got to level 2, meaning his momma was able to have him jump on the board on his own, then she could walk him around, he really learned how to balance on his own, we also met a nice guy named William that was helping us out a bit, and he got to learn to paddle and take pancho with him too.. Golie finally showed up, he was bugging his mom, but Trisha was draggin her tail, so they got to come and he got to chill with is surf pals, so back to Hurley He won STAR student for the day and he gets a neat gift next time we see him ( I left them at the office, woops). Now I have to tell some of you people ( actually LOTS of you ) not exactly sure why the emails telling me the wves are to big blah blah.. I'm not here to put your dogs in harms way, I checked the break on Fri and it was almost as good as I have ever seen it. So you all missed out on about 2hrs in the am and 1.5hr at 6pm, Kia caught 3 100+ yard runs it was like she rode for ever ( this is the same type of break in SD at the Del Mar dog beach) and people on the beach were amazed.. also Pancho rode 2 waves but his tall skinny legs he tends to bail if the board gets funny, where Kia will hang on till the end !!!

So enjoy a few of the picts, if you were ther email me 2 of your best picts and I'll put them all in the clinics gallery at SurfinPaws.com as it's tough for me to shoot picts of the pups riding when I'm pushing them on to the waves ;)!!!

Once again we got here at 9am and left at 7pm Sunday so a nice fun filled day with pals !

Mahalo !

Clinics for surf dogs...


Ok so waves are big on outside and that means nice whitewash for the dogs to ride at the shore !!! I was out there today and it looked great so were gonna meet up Sat 8-9amish and play.. then sunday same gig but might be more 9amish.. as I have to go to Palm Desert to shoot picts sat afternoon and who knows how late that will go... so don't be mad if I don't show up on time.. but Andy and others will be there with the equipment and I know all you great Sudents can handle it all !!!

Here is a map I suggest you consider the fact it's SUMMER, so parking is tough, I tend to ride my bike, so you can do a few things.. park free up on Brookhurst then ride down to the trail and over the bridge, pay to park at brookhurst on the beach south most point and walk over the bridge (1/8mile), if you like to gamble then hit up pch and Orange just b4 the jetty's if your northbound on PCH, or just over the bridge if south on PCH, at Orange turn towards the ocean then make right go to end and pray for parking.... 7am you can park but 9am Rarely.

Time to have fun !!!

The Surfinpaws gang !!!

ps. remeber I have loaner boards that I payed for outta my pocket, and have lif vests to lend that Kyjen donated so feel free to use, also if you end up wanting to go to Helen Woodward in SD I will bring the gear and lend it for the comp !
