Today I took my dog, Tiki, to the beach. Trust me, that is no easy task. We went down to Sandy Beach, which is near my house. Even though Tiki is huge, he is only 10 months old and is still considered a puppy. Tiki is a super friendly dog, so I didn't mind letting him off the leash so he could run around and enjoy the beach. He chased sand crabs and ran after sticks that I threw. Overall, it was good fun. However, when I went to bodysurf a wave, he chased after me into the rough water. When I noticed him following me into the lineup, a solid set came through. Tiki is a good swimmer and rather strong, but it was dangerous because he doesn't know how to duck dive. I scrambled over to grab him before the head high wave swallowed us up. Once I grabbed him, Tiki and I got fully barreled. He was calm and I had a sturdy stance.  We didn't get as pounded by the wave as much we should have gotten. This picture was taken right after. I would say we both had a good day at the beach.
