The 2023 VetShopAustralia Surfing Dog Championships are making a big splash at Noosa Main Beach this Saturday 4 March at 3pm.
Get ready to see ten teams of super-talented pups and their human companions battle it out on the waves to take home the coveted Best Wave Award, as part of the much-loved Noosa Festival of Surfing.
Dr Mark Perissinoto, head veterinarian at VetShopAustralia, predicts that this year’s event will be the biggest yet, drawing in a crowd of dog-lovers and surf enthusiasts from far and wide.
For eleven years now, the Surfing Dog Championships have been the star attraction at the Noosa Festival of Surfing, drawing in thousands of spectators both on and off the water.
This year’s line-up features some old favourites, like three-time winners Hugsley and Jonesy as well as some new pups on the block.
Watch out for Dane, who will be shredding the waves with gorgeous Bu the Staffy or Banjo the ball- obsessed Kelpie, who will be showing off his skills with owner Chris Oakley.
And let’s not forget Poppy the Groodle, or Anna, the chocolate Border Collie who will be riding the waves with owner Zane and litle human Koa.
Bringing some infectious energy and serious excitement to this year’s VetShopAustralia Surfing Dog Championships are newcomers Paul and his four legged partner in crime, Happy, the Australian Shepherd.
Happy is a true thrill-seeker who lives for surfing, skating, and all kinds of frothing activities. Having made their way over from W.A, get ready to cheer them on as they show off their skills and bring their A game to First Point.
