London, Aug 8 : An eight-month-old border terrier dog has been dubbed the world''s youngest surfing dog.

The canine called Jack can ride 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 his owner Tim Kevan, 38, a barrister taught him to keep balance on a skateboard.

"Jack is the youngest surf dog in the world. He is just a natural - he loves it," the Telegraph quoted Kevan as saying.

"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," he added. (ANI)
