Brazil enters morally murky waters by hosting animal abuse-adjacent world of dog surfing contests!

Would dogs, man’s theoretical best friend, chose to SUP?

There was a time, almost forgotten, when then the surfing powers resided solely in the nasty hegemony of Southern California with its “surf industry” and its “ Dino Andino” and its “Association of Professional Surfers” except that association actually resided on the even nastier Australian Gold Coast.

Dog surfing contests.

A fundamental destruction of animal rights?

Probably.

Those selfsame animal rights posit, “Sentient animals are entitled to the possession of their own existence and that their most basic interests—such as the need to avoid suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings.”

Would dogs, man’s theoretical best friend, chose to SUP?

Choose to become scored on closeout beach break?

Full rotation airs on the horizon?

Brazil, in any case, has entered the chat.

Do their tails wag? Dog’s love the attention. If tails wag they are happy. Happy matters……haters?

Way back when the north shore was still fairly peaceful I had a girlfriend who rescued 3 dogs from a departing neighbor. We decided to rename them. One was a Labrador mix we called “Sidewalk Shark” cause it had short legs and a long body with a hairy tail that stuck up in the shape of a dorsal fin. When it walked down the bike path its tail looked like a shark on the prowl.
The other rescue was a small Jack Russell poi dog we dubbed “Sneak Attack” cause it always acted really friendly and would come up to people wagging tail and loved being petted. That was until you turned around when it would take a bite out of your ankle. It was funnier than shit.
The third, aptly christened “Scooter Butt”, never met a green law or gravel path he wouldn’t motor across. Those 3 were inseparable. I really miss ’em.

Real question is: Did they give the bitches equal pay?

Sean Connery

This is worse than putting peanut butter on your balls

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”…..
Sounds like the non surfing leadership of the WSL ?

James Bickerton

It’s a dog’s life
Roll over , play dead now stand up ( and dog paddle )

Any word from “Dog” Marsh?

James Bickerton

No he is to busy breeding ……ooops coaching winners .
The wonderful French Open collaboration of former 80s EBC surfer Dog ( before he tripped over to the sharks ) and current EBC top dog Condog O’Leary is proof in the dog food .
An image of two pissed idiots , for any doubters of Dog being at EBC in the 80s

The good thing about a dog in the surf is that it decreases your chance of being bitten by a shark.
The bad thing about a dog on your board is that it increases your chance of being bitten by a shark.

Ergo
The foolish man took his dog surfing
The wise man didn’t…

Imagine a VAL just hitting his or her stride and employing the powers of an angry Pitbull on the bow. The future surely.

My dog is afraid of the tiniest ripples at the beach, might need to get those shock collars so I can pursue my dream of becuming the SPUP champion.

Mapski

Can you teach your dog to claim?

Instalo Feedeira

Unfortunately my dog is not Brazo but Australian so it doesn’t claim, instead it paints it’s nails black and pretends it’s artistic saying fuck the PSL.

Stick man

Dog will cunt.

Stick man

“Woof…Woof woof woof woof!” …”My Dog says he wants to thank God and his sponsors!” “Woof”. Woof. Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof.” “He says he’s very happy and stok-ed and train soo hard!” “Obrigado!” “Woof!” …the pair are currently looking for leash sponsor.

James Bickerton

Would one consider a surfing dog with a human paddler a
Creature of Leisure ?

Dogsnuts

It’s cool, so’s Pip.

James Bickerton

Well let’s hope PIP fulfills his « great expectations «  …….but sadly his chances of finding an ex convict Australian benefactor went out the proverbial doggy door in 2007 .

Dogsnuts

I can’t believe he packed that big closeout, got a few cuts and didn’t realize his potential. Silly boy.
