Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 2004

Humans aren't the only "surf dogs" - surfers' four-legged friends love water too, and many even like catching waves. These amphibious canines are special creatures: Top surfers believe that dogs who learn to surf develop a unique attitude, knowing they have something that sets them apart from other dogs. For anyone who loves the antics of "man's best friend," The Dog's Guide to Surfing is indispensable, collecting stories, lessons, and advice in one richly illustrated book. For surf-lovers, there's also plenty of information on surf gear and riding a wave, both with and without a pooch. From mounting a massive seven-footer to simply playing in the water, The Dog's Guide to Surfing shows how to really be a surf dog.
