We took her to the beach the first day we got her, and she absolutely loved it, especially crashing through all the waves. I always wanted a dog to be able to take out with me when I surfed so one day when I was out surfing and I thought it would be fun to put her on the board just for fun. I put her on and she fell in love. She was a natural, balanced on the board so well! About a year later, I found out from a SoCal Surf Dog member that dog surfing was a popular sport in San Diego and there were actual competitions, so I entered her in her first competition in May 2010. SoCal Surf Dogs seemed like a fun group of people and dogs who were into surfing as much as we were, so Bella and I decided it was something we wanted to do. They are such a great group of dogs and people!
