Who knew dogs are natural surfers?

Dog surfing competitions are held around the world each year as canines climb atop surfboards and hit the waves.

In the U.S., the World Dog Surfing Championship was recently held Aug, 5 in Pacifica, California.

The event included surfing competitions among dogs and humans and even a "yappy hour" for everyone to kick back and slurp a few drinks.
