Everything is pawesome: 2025 UK Dog Surfing Championship in pictures
When life’s a beach, take a paws… In pictures: A whippet named Margo became UK Dog Surfing Champ 2025 this weekend.
What did you do this weekend?
Well, if you happened to be on Branksome Beach, on the south coast of England, you’ll have witnessed a real tail-wagger on Sunday, when dogs and their owners took to the waves for the UK Dog Surfing Championship.
The event combines four-legged athletes and paddleboarding, and it’s a dog-gone good time.
A whippet called Margo and her owner, Carl Barnes, won this year’s championships, beating fierce competition from a group of very good (and damp) doggos.
