Surf Dog Competition-FREE family fun!

6th annual Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition Saturday, June 4, 2011 Dunes Park/Beach 700 Seacoast Drive Imperial Beach, CA 91932   This was a blast last year! My kids and i enjoyed this event tons!! If you can make it, it's worth the drive.  Hang 20!!  Doggie dudes are Back and carving up some serious tubes!!  This popular competition where they don't make fun of dog paddling is an extension of Loews Loves Pets program at Loews Coronado Bay Resort. The photos make the surfing looking fantastic, the reality is that the waves are fairly mild just off shore and getting the dogs to ride the board doesn't always come natural.  Many jokes abound about hanging 10 (20), putting your toes to the nose, and other such doggy humor. The event is a blast to watch. This year’s event will benefit San Diego County schools. The Loews Coronado Bay Resort, with the help of our surf dog heroes, has set a personal goal to donate $10,000 to San Diego County schools through DonorsChoose.org this year.
