Catch the next wave of surf dogs to watch out for.

Every legend starts somewhere.

Every legend starts somewhere — usually with a wet nose, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of gnarly instinct. Meet the pups making waves right now: Sweet the Surfing Dog, born the very day her legendary mom Sugar rode her final ride, already showing the fearless flair that runs in the family. Bradley "Shortboard" Cooper, a Riverside rescue turned World Champ, who found his footing on a board thanks to his big brother and mentor, Carson Surf Dog. And Albee the Brown Dog, the San Diego star who just swept the medium dog division and took home Best in Surf — proving he's just as unstoppable solo as he is riding tandem. Three dogs, three stories, one thing in common: they're not just watching the wave, they're catching it. Keep your eyes on this crew — the next generation of surf dog legends is already paddling out.

Next Wave of Surf Dogs to Watch Out For!

Know a Grom on the Rise?

Every legend was a grom once. If there's a pup in your life who's been shredding the shore break, hanging ten (or four paws), or just fearlessly paddling toward their first wave, we want to hear about it! Send us their story, their stoke, and maybe a photo or two of them in action — they could be featured in our next Next Wave roundup. Because the surf dog hall of fame doesn't fill itself, and every champion needs someone to spot them first.
