Thousands crowded on to Noosa Main Beach or took up vantage points on the path along First Point to watch the Noosa Festival of Surfing’s most popular event, the Vetshop Australia Surfing Dog Championships, on Saturday afternoon.
A mix of about a dozen competitor favourites and newcomers showed off their skills as First Point supplied some lovely sets under an overcast sky.
Team Loui took out Best Wave and celebrated their win with a large group of supporters.
With staffy Bu riding held high above his human’s head, it was no wonder Team Bu took out the Crowd Favourite award.
There were plenty of wipeouts during the competition, despite the fairly calm conditions, but the Best Wipeout award went to Team Basil.
Now in its 15th year the world’s biggest Surfing Dog Championships is delivered by Vetshop Australia and Simparica Trio to entertain the crowds and raise awareness of the importance of parasite prevention and pet health.
