Australian kelpie took the top prize at the World Dog
Surfing Championships, where she surfed the largest
and longest waves. “She nailed it in every category,”
competition judge Charly Kayle says.
Owner Michael Uy started taking Abbie Girl to the
beach after adopting her. Once the dog got used to the
water, she eventually hopped on a surfboard. “Kelpies
that work herd sheep by running across their backs,”
Uy says, noting that the breed’s natural instinct
might’ve helped Abbie balance on a surfboard. The
dog also rode a custom board that was lighter, thinner,

nobody minded the wet dog smell!
