If you have a dog that likes to fetch waves instead of balls, check out this SurfinPaws Dog Jam coming up at Bolsa Chica State Beach.

Your pooch doesn’t have to be an expert wave rider to participate at the July 11 event.  The contest is more of a fundraiser for the Orange County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Registration is open to dogs of all ages, sizes and abilities; with a $25.50 per dog registration fee profiting the OCSPCA.

The surf competition is open to the public and free for anyone to watch.  At noon, there will be an expression session, where organizers are going to attempt to get more than eleven dogs on one board for a world record.

This is the first year for the SurfinPaws event.  It was started by René Bruce and his pet inspiration, Kia, who has participated in a surf dog competition that was put on by a friend in Del Mar. Kia is a seven year-old Russell Terrier and is the “spokesdog” of the Surfinpaws Dog Jam.

Check out Kia surfing waves down in Del Mar recently:

Kia has been riding boards, scooters and jet skis since she was a pup. She has been featured on various news sites, Reuters,  National Geographic and The Discovery Channel because of her riding talents.  You can also find Kia on her Web site.

When: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Red carpet and auction festivities will follow the competition at the Waterfront Hilton Huntington Beach from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Where: Bolsa Chica State Beach
