Surf’s Up, Pups! Catching Waves with the Surf Dog Experience - Carolina Beach, NC
The North Carolina Coast just got a whole lot furrier—and we’re not mad about it. The Surf Dog Experience rolled into town, bringing with it the most paws-itively awesome canine competitors you’ve ever seen.
Held on the sunny shores of Carolina Beach, this unique event gave local dogs the chance to show off their surf skills (and soak up the attention). From beginners riding the foam for the first time to seasoned pros with impressive balance, it was a day packed with tail wags, salty kisses, and sun-drenched smiles.
Behind the Lens at Surf Dog
As one of the official photographers, I had the honor of capturing the pure joy and wacky wet moments from this one-of-a-kind East Coast event. There’s something special about photographing dogs mid-zoomie, especially when the ocean’s involved! From soggy ears flapping in the breeze to victorious stances on tiny surfboards, these pups reminded us what it means to live in the moment.
Why Events Like This Matter
The Surf Dog Experience isn't just fun—it’s community. It brings dog lovers together and showcases just how amazing our four-legged friends are when given a chance to shine. Plus, events like these highlight how dog-friendly the NC Coast truly is.
