Introducing Mateo, Tamarindo’s Surfing Dog

We recently featured Mateo, Tamarindo’s Surfing Dog, in last week’s surf report. Everyone here at the surf camp was so stoked on Mateo, we decided to make him his own music video with never-before-seen footage of Mateo shredding the waves. Check him out!

Since ancient times dogs have been known to be man’s best friend. They are loyal, protective, caring… and they can surf. Well at least this one does, and he shreds!

I figure myself a pretty “well-seasoned” surfer. I grew up in Hawaii and I’ve surfed with some of the best surfers in the world. I’ve been all around the globe for the sole purpose of surfing…. and I have NEVER in my whole life seen a dog get barreled! Not to mention the SICK floater he pulls on his last wave. He stomps it!

By far the best surfing dog I have ever seen in my life…. and I have seen my fair share. Folks, if a dog can learn to surf, well then there is hope for everyone out there.
