Calling DOGE.
A potential tragedy is brewing up north, pitting menacing bureaucrats against adorable surfing dogs. Pacifica, California is a tony enclave perched right on the Pacific, hence the name, just a few clicks down from San Francisco. Artificial intelligence declares the town of nearly 40,000 souls is known for community events, surfing and dog friendliness.
All three directly in the crosshairs of what must be deep state actors hellbent on making red tape great again.
The annual World Dog Surfing Championships, you see, are under threat of cancellation due soaring permitting fees being mandated by the city. According to organizers, the cost for the requirements has lurched over 42% since last year and further doubled since 2020.
One of them, who preferred to remain anonymous to likely avoid Pacifica’s ombudsman’s wrath, declared, “We need to raise a certain amount by May 1 or we will not be doing a live event in Pacifica this year. The event has a lot of fans, which is great, but Pacifica says it’s a tax on their resources so they increase the costs.”
Slated to take place on August 2, 2025, the important stop on the Dog Surfing World Tour will be canned unless $12,000 dollars can be raised.
Turning to GoFundMe, coordinators are pleading:
Help us bring this popular event back live and in-person again this year. World Dog Surfing Championships live in-person event in Pacifica, California. This popular event brings thousands of people to the beaches of Pacifica, garners millions of dollars in national and worldwide pres s coverage to hundreds of millions of viewers and readers, helps local and regional businesses, brings awareness to our rescue dog charity partners, and the event even helps local schools in Pacifica (one school recent year raised over $4,500 just from their parking fundraiser during the Championships).
