As much as I want to argue the counterpoint to this article, I have to agree: if the dog is physically okay and not scared sh!tless from the ocean and as long as the owner keeps an eye on the dog to make sure s/he continues to be okay with surfing, why not?

Canine is man's best friend because canine has traditionally done what Man has done whether it be herding, hunting, exploring or dragging. Why should surfing be any different?

I have had the pleasure of knowing several surfing dogs. Lots of dogs adore the water.

Jason ON Totally agree with you.  With something like surfing - it'd be impossible to teach a dog to perform unless it enjoyed it/or if it feared water.  Um... - wouldn't it be the same for humans.  Has anyone met a human surfer who didn't love the waves or is terrified of water? :o)

I have a couple pics from some surfer dogs in SoCal a couple weekends ago.  I will find them and post it.  The dogs seemed to be fine with it...

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
