Doggy Surfing Competitions

Doggy Surfing Competition
How did we not know this was going on while we were living there!?

Five competitors piled on a surfboard during Sunday’s Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon in Del Mar, Calif. The event welcomed 4,000 spectators, 80 pooches, and raised more than $100,000 for orphaned animals. Canine surf competitions have recently grown in popularity, and a number are held in Southern California each year.

Thanks to my dad for sending me this slideshow of Cali’s beachside campgrounds (featuring Encinitas).

In the 1930s, surfing’s popularity grew at the same time California’s newly founded State Park Commission was looking for beaches and waterfront property to protect, and many of the best surf breaks on the coast became parkland.

Jacob's Surfboards
It’s so close to summer! Time to break out these fashionable surfboards from Marc Jacobs!

A twist of fate led us to Jacobs Surfboards (no relation:) They’ve been producing beautiful, hand shaped boards since the 1950′s and we’re thrilled to have them in our stores!

Also, Jacob’s official site.
