The competition features “Doo the Dah for the Dogs,” where individuals and teams of up top 10 will surf while wearing costumes. Judges including champion surfers and members of the host surfing club Swami’s Surfing Association. They will pick the top three individual or team costumes as well as the best themed team ride.
Activities for Sand Crabs (non-surfers) will include the Beach Bum and Bikini Babe Canine Costume Contest. Dogs will strut their stuff on the catwalk as celebrity judges, including Shorty (as seen on Animal Planet’s “Pit Boss”) and Animal Planet veterinarian Dr. Stacy Funchino, pick the best costumes.
