Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition
October 23rd, 2010
This year there were 65 dogs in the competition. Thousands of people watched from the beach as these brave dogs showed off their skills on the waves. People came from all over the place to watch this event. They even have some celebrity sightings as well. Each dog is allowed 10 minutes to catch two waves and they are judged on the length of the ride, their confidence level and overall performance.
This competition has three categories which are Small Dogs, Large Dogs and Tandem. There is a first, second and third place for each category. The winners are rewarded with a pet vacation at Loews Coronado Bay Resort. The biggest canine in this competition was an 85 lb Bernese Mountain dog named Nani and the smallest was a 5 lb Pomeranian named Bobby Gorgeous.
This competition usually takes place within the first few months of the year and the cause isn’t the same everytime. It’s a charity event and this year the money raised went to the San Diego Police Department’s Canine Unit.
