I'm a purebred white pug who was fortunately trained by my mom & East Coast's top Championship Dog Agility Instructors Cindy & Delaney Ratner. My goal was to compete competitively in dog agility but, mom being a Malibu CA native put me on a paddleboard and I loved the ocean. Torn between both sports mom brought me back to California when I was 2 years of age and placed me on a surfboard. With surprise & thanks to balance training I took to the waves & rode the surfboard to shore. I trained briefly with dog agility but soon turned to surfing full time because it was easier on my joints for a longer sport life. Little did my mom know I was going to compete in local surf events, I think I surprised her. My destiny in life is to always surf for those in need! This includes animal rescue, animal shelters, military, children in need, various charity events, fostering animals & rehoming them & one of my favorites pug rescues. I currently support Pug Nation Rescue, The Pug Queen Foundation, Helen Woodward Animal Center & Humane Society's based in SOCAL.
