Dogs right round Ireland may be feeling a little jealous when they get wind of the Surf City Surf Dog competition that was held in California at the weekend.
The west coast of Ireland is renowned for being great surfing territory, so dogs of all shapes and sizes that fancy themselves as dab paws hands on a surfboard will be a little green with envy when they see what their American cousins were up to at the weekend.
According to Business Insider, the fifth annual surfing competition had the canines pitted against each other in heats based on weight, from small dogs weighing less than 20 pounds all the way up to hounds clocking in at more than 60 pounds.
The dogs were rewarded points for staying on their surfboards on all fours, and earned extra points for going backwards while riding the waves.

And dog owners could also get in on the act, with special categories where owners could surf with their pets and two dogs could surf together.
Surfing, like a boss
Irish dogs, your time will come.
