Thousands packed the sand to get a peek of dogs and their owners ripping it up at the now famous beach break just north of the Imperial Beach pier. Contestants flew in from as far away as Hawaii, Florida, and Arizona, to test their skills and see who will take home the glory of dog surfing champion.
