Hang 20 Surf Dog Classic is back for Furry Friends’ Summer Fundraiser!
Jupiter FL (May 2, 2016) What can be more fun on a summer’s day than hanging at the beach and watching dogs surf! Yes, August 27, 2016 marks the 2nd Annual Hang 20 Surf Dog Classic at Carlin Park in Jupiter.
Furry Friends, a no-kill shelter and clinic in Jupiter, will once again be hosting this fabulous family event filled with food, live music, kids’ activities, vendors and of course…surfing dogs! Last year brought over 2000 attendees and this year will be even bigger.
The surfing begins at 8:30 a.m., with four heats; small, medium, and large dogs and a SUP (stand-up Surfboard) heat. You can register your pup online at www.FurryFriendsAdoption.org, but hurry as space limited. Dogs from far and wide are planning on surfing! Last year we had dog surfers from St. Pete, Merritt Island and Boynton Beach as well as our local favorites.
So your dog doesn’t surf? Furry Friends is offering surf lessons for your pooch on Jupiter beach starting in July. You can sign up for those online as well, and who knows? Maybe your puppy can be this year’s surf champion!
There is still time to be a sponsor or vendor as well. All proceeds go to operations at the shelter and it is a great opportunity to show your community support.
