Beach Leash

Bradley Cooper was actually named after this guy. Or at least that’s the story Jill is sticking with. 😂🐕

Meet Bradley Shortboard Cooper, the third surf dog in a family tradition that started years ago with Jill’s first competitive surfing dog.

For Jill, it’s become a legacy. One dog retires, another learns, and somehow they all end up wanting to get on the board with her.

We caught up with Jill and Bradley at the Surf Dog Surf A Thon to talk about keeping that tradition going, supporting Helen Woodward Animal Center, and the most important advice for the competition.

Get your rest, eat your snacks, get some sunshine, and surf it up. 🌊🤙

Sometimes all you need is the right teacher. 🌊🐕

Rocket wasn’t exactly a natural the first time he tried surfing. But after some time in the shallows and a little help from Cherie, the veteran surf dog who showed him the ropes, things started to click.

We caught up with Dan and Rocket at the Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon to talk about how they got started, why they keep coming back, and how dog surfing became more than just a fun day at the beach.

For Dan, it’s also been a way to give the hobby some purpose through supporting organizations like Helen Woodward Animal Center.

And according to Rocket, the other competitors better watch out. 👀

Yeah… these dogs can actually surf. 🌊🐕

A few more clips from the Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon because one recap definitely wasn’t enough.

Still pretty hard to beat a morning at Del Mar Dog Beach watching dogs paddle out, catch waves, and somehow make it all look completely normal.

Proud to have Beach Leash there supporting the event and Helen Woodward Animal Center.

More surf dog content or are we officially obsessed?

LSuch an incredible day supporting Helen Woodward Animal Center at the Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon. 🌊🐾 We were proud to be a sponsor of an event that brings the dog community together while benefiting the amazing work Helen Woodward Animal Center does for animals all year long.

And then, of course… there was the surfing. 😎

Big waves, flying ears, wipeouts, celebrations, costumes, and some seriously talented dogs putting on a show all morning. We loved catching up with familiar faces, meeting new friends, and cheering on every pup that paddled out.

Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hi and to all the dogs, owners, volunteers, organizers, and supporters who made the day such a good one.

Already looking forward to the next one. 🤙🐕🌊

Your dog packed a towel. You’re holding it. 🐕🏖️

Yep, that leash unrolls into a full-size beach towel. Walk down to the water, dry off your swimming-obsessed sidekick, then roll it back up for the trip home.

It’s also a spot for you both to hang out… until your dog decides the entire towel belongs to them.

One less thing to carry. One less thing to forget. Same dog who refuses to leave the beach.

Send this to someone whose dog treats every walk like a potential swim.

Some dogs were just made for beach days.
Running through the water, sandy paws, soaking wet fur, and absolutely no interest in going home.

Good thing their leash can handle all of it.

Beach Leash is made for dogs who’d rather be running through the water. Lightweight, quick-drying, water-absorbent, and it doubles as a towel when the adventure gets messy.

Sparky approved. 🐾
