Each dog and team will have three waves (or chances) to impress the judges and will be scored on confidence level, length of ride and overall ability.
Prizes:
The first place winner of each heat will score a ton of great prizes, including a getaway at Loews Coronado Bay Resort and a feature in Modern Dog magazine.
At this San Diego dog surfing event, canines, owners and spectators can enjoy puppy portraits, mutt massages, goody bags and a variety of burgers, dogs and snacks prepared by the chefs of Loews.
All proceeds benefit Loews Coronado Bay Resort’s Good Neighbor Council.
