What did you do this weekend?

Well, if you happened to be on Branksome Beach, on the south coast of England, you’ll have witnessed a real tail-wagger on Sunday, when dogs and their owners took to the waves for the UK Dog Surfing Championship.

The event combines four-legged athletes and paddleboarding, and it’s a dog-gone good time.

A whippet called Margo and her owner, Carl Barnes, won this year's championships, beating fierce competition from a group of very good (and damp) doggos.

Check out some of the highlights below:
