A whippet named Margo and her owner Carl Barnes have claimed victory at the UK’s Dog Surf Championships on Sunday, held at Branksome Dene Chine Beach in Dorset.
After two closely fought semi-finals, Margo took the top spot, earning cheers from the crowd. The event also saw three world records broken, including the fastest 50-metre paddleboard sprint, completed in 32 seconds by Matthew Jenkins with Gigi and Ben Grey with Boo.
Guinness World Records official Pravin Patel confirmed two additional records: the highest number of dogs in a 50-metre paddleboard race, and the most dogs on a single giant paddleboard.
Jenkins said he was “speechless” following his record-breaking run.
