People might claim the internet was invented for cat videos, but really it was invented for videos of dog surfing. This totally and legitimately real sport started in the 1920’s and has dogs compete with each other riding the waves. Dogs can be trained on a surfboard, bodyboard, skimboard, or without a board. The most notable competition is the “Surf City Surf Dog Competition” in Huntington Beach, California. This annual tradition started in 2009 and has brought spectators endless happiness since its glorious inception. It has also given the internet some of the best videos it could have ever asked for.
