People ask us why we don’t sell dog surfing merch People ask us why we don’t sell dog surfing merch at the live event. There are two reasons. One is because the dog charities @rocketdogrescue and @peninsulahumanesociety sell their merch there, so they can raise more money. The second reason is that our World Dog Surfing Championships merch is available online all the time.
