Jack - World Youngest Surfing Dog

Jack was taught to ride the waves by owner and keen surfer Tim Kevan, 38, a barrister.

He rides waves up to 3ft high and can perform tricks including a hang five - where he walks up and down the board while surfing.

He regularly surfs on a 9ft board at Saunton Sands in Devon after learning to keep balance on a skateboard.

Jack is the youngest surf dog in the world. He is just a natural - he loves it, said Mr Kevan.

Whenever he sees the water he gets really excited and can't wait to get on the board. I wouldn't let him go out there if he didn't enjoy it.

I started him off on a skateboard when he was really tiny but I had to wait until he was a bit bigger to take him surfing.

But he took to it immediately. Everyone on the beach always stop to watch when he is riding the waves - he really draws a crowd.

Photographer Susanna Stanford, 33, said Jack had become well known at the beach for his incredible surfing skills.

It's amazing how good he is already. For such a young dog his surfing is very impressive and he has a very relaxed style, she said
