We are excited to announce that SoCal Surf Dogs, a group that has dedicated themselves to helping their community, will be partnering with the Center to lead our summer Surf Dog Lessons June-August. We have been humbled to work with this passionate group from the very start of this event, and we know that these dog surfing pros will put their heart into each lesson.

Surf San Diego like the surf dogs do!  Teach your dog to be a surf dog!

You can teach your dog to surf, and we are here to help! Surfing with your dog is a terrific way to enjoy San Diego summers and make lasting memories. Lessons will have you and your dog in the water with a member of the SoCal Surf Dogs Club, learning basic and advanced techniques from experienced, passionate dog surfers! You can start with our GromMutt class to introduce your dog to the water, or jump right into a Dog Surf Lesson.   Click here for more information and to register for lessons!
