Yes Lavz,
Don’t worry about Uni and study, just get off your bum and post that footage, that dog was insane, I’ve never seen a dog do that before and get so severely thrashed.
I could just see my dog Sweet Pea doing the same thing!

We had to stop taking our dog, Trixie, down the beach with us. Unless we had an old beaten up body board along.
If she sees us in she’ll go nuts on the beach and charge into the water. Swim out. Climb the front part of her body onto the BB and get this big doggy grin. She’ll happily get on if we give her a hand. And ride it in with a little push.
Problem is the damage her claws do to hard boards. Not to mention wetsuits and skin

Cant’ remember name of movie, by Steven Soderberg. I was there in Baja when sequence filmed of guy from San Diego w/ little terrier type dog. The guy had made a little neoprene vest for bowzer and glued a neoprene deck patch on nose of long board and took him out for tandem surfs in real 3 foot waves. The dog stuck like glue on the nose. When he came he, that hound was strutting around like a human after a huge perfect day. Obvious lip-curled doggie smile on his mug. When the guy would go out w/out the dog, pup would hop around on his hind legs trying to see “outside” and howl. He LOVED goin’ surfin’.
Sounds kinda like the dog at the start of Endless Summer 2.
That mutt loved to surf so much that it ditched it’s tandem partner and went out on a body board.
Had tears in my eyes the first time I watched that.
