Do you have a surf dog? Teaching dogs how to surf is a great experience and you should do so if you live close to a beach.

Surfing dogs have been a thing for decades, but for Edna, the two-year-old black Lab I met out in Long Beach last weekend, it is in her blood. Edna’s owner, Shawn, bought her a surfboard for her birthday. The rest is history.

She has taken to the sport more naturally than either of her human counterparts. This makes sense considering that surfing dogs must have a whole host of skills to be successful.

If you have a surf dog, how cool would it be to give them a name that reflects surfing.

Here are more than 250 great names for your surf dog:
