We're more than a man and his four-footed best friends, we're the original Surf Dog Team. We welcome you with open arms and prepped paws to educate newcomers and returning ohana about our ways of life, love of nature, and appreciation for the ocean.

Dogs are used so widely as therapeutic aids and companionship, and for those who have trepidation about the ocean, having a dog accompany them is a huge comfort. We've had many therapeutic sessions, but most bookings are for the rare opportunity that YOU can safely Surf or SUP on the North Shore with a highly-trained Ocean Professional and enthusiastic surf dogs.  The photos come out priceless - smiles, tongues, and ocean beauty galore!

Hina

kahuna

Hina was trained by the original Surf Dog, Pulu, before he passed. Coming to the Canons by way of Craigslist, Hina is a Labrador mix and has the heart of an angel. 

Kahuna was adopted from the Hawaiian Humane Society and has quickly become a fine SUP Pup! A six-year old Shepard mix, Kahuna is happy to have found a loving family (and a job)!

For the Canons, surfing is a family affair. Rocky's two little girls, Uluwehi and Nanea, have been hanging ten since before they could walk. If these cute keikis (kids) and pups can do it, so can you!
