How do you know the silly season has arrived? It's time for the World Dog Surfing Championships in California, USA. The 'silly season' is what journalists use to describe late July through Labor Day, a time when so many people are on vacation that whimsical stories make it into the forward pages and local news broadcasts.
Dog surfing originated in Northern California and has spread to other nations with surf cultures.
The most popular and well-known dog surfing event is the World Dog Surfing Championships, which takes place in Pacifica, California. This event began in 2006 and has since attracted participants and spectators from all over the globe. In addition to the main surfing competition, the event often includes other activities like a dog fashion show, dog-friendly beach activities, and opportunities for dog adoption.
Dogs of all breeds, sizes, and skill levels can participate in these events. They are usually categorized based on size (small, medium, large, and extra-large) to ensure fair competition. Scoring in the match typically follows similar criteria as in human surfing, such as the length of the ride, wave difficulty, and the dog's style and confidence on the board.
Dog surfing events provide entertainment and friendly competition for the participants and serve as fundraisers for local animal shelters, rescue organizations, or other dog-related causes. The competition has become a successful charity fundraiser and a favorite event with dog lovers everywhere.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
