Talented pups surf large waves at 'Hang 8' competition in Flagler Beach

FLAGLER BEACH, Florida (WABC) -- A talented group of dogs rode some "ruff" waves over the weekend in Florida.

Flagler Beach hosted the "Hang 8 Dog Surfing Competition".

Contestants had to ride the best wave while keeping all four legs on the surfboard.

This event, which raises money for dogs in need, included a costume contest and a free doggy surf lesson.

This is the second year for this "pawesome" competition.
