Internet, why won’t you let me live stream this dog surfing competition?!

TwitterFacebook

The dogs have gathered. The surf is up. The puppy-sized rash guards are on. And the Dog Surfing Championship of 2018 is underway in Pacifica, California.

But something is amiss. All I want to do is sit back and watch the glory of canines riding sweet waves from my Brooklyn apartment, 3,000 miles away from the Good Boys on boards. Alas, the internet has failed me. 

Internet, it’s 2018 — why the HECK is there no live stream of the World Dog Surfing Championships?!
