The love of our dogs and the love of surfing make for a better world.

Our Commitment

A safe way in. Real expertise you can trust. A commitment to rescue — dogs, as well as the planet that gives us the waves. Surf Dog Association promises a safe way into the water, real surf knowledge you can trust, and a community that welcomes you exactly as you are — every dog, every human, at any level. That means lessons and competitions built on real surf expertise, not guesswork. It means giving back to the dogs who need rescuing and the ocean that makes this sport possible in the first place — because every dog in our own surf family started as a rescue, and we believe every dog deserves that same chance.

Belong to a community that lasts a lifetime.

We believe in a world where every dog that likes the water, and their human can find their way to the water — to paddle out, catch a wave, and belong to a community that lasts a lifetime.
