The 6th annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition, drew in hundreds of local spectators as well as dog surfers from across the US. Dogs compete and attempt to catch at least two waves. While judges look and on and watch for confidence in the dog surfers as well as a long wave ride and a good sense of fashion. All money raised by the competition is donated to DonorsChoose.org, which provides a space for public teachers in San Diego to request and receive funding for school supplies from private sponsors.

This competition marks the first ever attempt at 5 dogs riding a wave together. Looks like they found a wave and went for it.
