Surfing goat rides the waves in California

Beachcombers in California are accustomed to seeing surfers catching a wave on the beach.

But they were given a surprise when a goat named "Goat-ee" tried balancing his hooves on a board. His owner, Dayna McGregor, wanted to celebrate his birthday surfing with his animal.

"She did pretty well. She got up on a couple waves. Got up? We put her on a couple waves and she was pretty successful," he said.

He originally bought "Goat-ee" to eat the weeds in his garden but she later became his pet.

We found that getting a dog to surf is easy if you have a dog that doesn't like swimming - it would rather be on the board than in the sea. If you have a dog that enjoys swimming it will jump off the board.

That being so I suspect that it's fairly easy to get any animal to surf that doesn't enjoy swimming.

Now and animal that would take off on it's own. That would be worth watching.
