Balancing on a surfboard is no small feat. Now picture a squad of dogs doing it together. That’s exactly what happened on San Diego’s Ocean Beach, famously known as Dog Beach, where nearly a dozen pups were spotted catching a wave on a single longboard.


Dogs on Board: The Viral Video Making Waves

The viral video, shared by ABC News on Instagram, shows furry surfers riding the waves like pros, from fluffy little breeds to bigger, sturdier canines. And yes, they looked totally in sync. “Nearly a dozen athletic pups made a splash at San Diego’s Dog Beach after the dogs were spotted riding a wave together on a single surfboard,” ABC News captioned the clip. The moment created quite a splash, both on the shore and online.


Internet Reacts: From Laughs to Cheers

Reactions flooded in. “I’m embarrassed, I can’t even stay on the board long enough to stand up and balance, and these 27 dogs are actually surfing I’m done!” joked one user. Another called it “One of the best videos I’ve seen all weekend!,” while someone else dreamed aloud, “I would love my dog to have this experience lol.”

Critics Bark Back: Is It Safe or Sensible?

But the video also stirred a few waves of concern. Some viewers questioned the ethics behind the stunt. “Worried what would happen to them if a huge wave knocked them off,” one comment read. Another called it “Dangerous and irresponsible. Using animals for human entertainment. Not cool.”


Still, for many dog lovers, San Diego is paradise. With its leash-free havens like Ocean Beach, the sprawling Fiesta Island, and the calm shores of Coronado Dog Beach, it’s a playground for pups of all sizes.

Love it or not, the surfing dog squad has certainly made its mark, proving once again that at Dog Beach, anything is paw-sible.
