“We are so proud of how the sport of dog surfing has evolved over the last 11 years. This year, we partnered with local business, the community and most importantly, great charities to create a weekend of family-friendly fun and fund-raising! The event puts a smile on everyone’s face and really gets the crowd connected in the tail-wagging fun,” said organiser Lisa Scolman.
