GALVESTON — Man’s Best Friend is going to catch some waves as the Galveston Island Humane Society and Ohana Surf & Skate announce the 13th Annual Ohana Surf Dog Competition commencing Saturday, July 18, located on the beach of 28th Street and Seawall Boulevard.
This annual competition will feature a variety of surf dogs and their owners across the Gulf Coast region. Admission is free and open to the public, families, friends, and dog lovers of all ages to experience a morning of entertainment and fundraising in support of animal welfare initiatives within the Galveston community.

To ensure safety and comfort for participants and spectators during the summer heat, the contest will begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at noon. Proceeds and donations during the event will help fund Galveston Island Humane Society’s goal, including innovative life-saving adoption programs, high-volume community spay and neuter initiatives, emergency response services for animals and families in crisis, and continued community outreach efforts.
“Ohana Surf & Skate and the Galveston Island Humane Society are committed to creating a united community where kindness, compassion, and humane animal care remain priorities,” organizers said. “The Surf Dog Competition is more than just a fun event on the beach — it is an opportunity to bring the community together while making a positive impact for local animals in need.”
