"OMFG, this infuriates me...."
Now, at this point you would have to be living under a literal rock not to know that California spent the past week experiencing the “swell event” of the century. Big, serious, meaty waves crashed the shore from San Diego’s south all the way up to Oregon’s border. Single, double, triple overhead. An unrelenting pound.
Mammoth stuff.
Santa Cruz, just south of earthly paradise San Francisco, received plenty big though it was messier than down south. Not exactly Pipeline East. Whatever the case, one particular incident got people right mad. A pup, you see, wandered down to bomb spot and almost became one with Davey Jones. The action was captured on video and… watch.
@ksbw_8 DOG NEARLY SWEPT AWAY | A dog made a miraculous escape against high surf in Santa Cruz on Thursday. After being nearly washed out to sea, the dog was then thrown back onto the road by the surf.
As you can imagine, folk were furious that such a lovely creature would be left alone that close to the pump.
“OMFG, this infuriates me,” one viewer bemoaned. “So glad that baby is OK.”
“My heart literally stopped,” someone else declared.
“Do not take [dogs] near the ocean when it’s like this,” yet another added.
Imagine when they learn of the current and various wars killing children around the world.
Much more “infuriation” just over the horizon.
PETA.

One less dog is a good thing! Babylonians go nuts for dogs
Dogs maul people to death everyday. You dog lovers are disgusting sub humans. 1 less dog is a good thing. Keep dog lovers away from you.
Tik Tok ya don’t stop… biiiaaatch!
‘… and WOW! The bitch sneaks out of the doggy door for a messy completion, finishing on the bricks… Joe?’
‘Thanks Pottz, great call from our resident 1989 World Chimp. So Pottz, what dog did you own growing up?’
Pottz: “My dog growing up was half Plott Hound, half Spitz. Yep. It was a Plottz.”
Joe: “There appears to be a leash…maybe we should look for it’s walker…Is there a name on the collar? Wait! We’ve got Gerry on the line…”
Gotta be your best comment!
feed me gil~
SO What! Now?
Dog Gone it makes me angry.
He almost got caught by the “shore pound”….
well played.
Happy New Year.
Well we had a good run folks. Unfortunately we didn’t hit the bar and have been chastised publicly for our failure. That’s right. Albee layer has voiced insta discontent with all surf media including, I assume, our beloved beachgrit. He even floated an idea of forming his own media outlet so I think it goes without saying our days are numbered. Happy new year maybe we can manifest our way out of this quagmire.

I blame Chas and DAZ.
The forums are only thing keeping bg afloat!
Lucky it’s not fresh water we’re treading here.
dirty…
that doggo was having a blast!
Doggo sort of handled. Most talking primates would be less effective in such a tempest.
At we can be relieved that no chance it’s Pips dog.
His packed up the family and moved to lenmoore too train until trestles is two foot again.
This reminds me of a dog named, “TOY”. He’s a real hero, and is doing God’s work!

That pooch negotiated the shorebreak far better than a fair few moronic humans I’ve seen over the last few days
