Surfboarding might sound like a risk to many, but for people with a love for the open ocean, the sport is the best that one can ask for. In fact, the activity is fun for certain animals as well, as many videos and instances of furry beauties having the time of their lives surfing in the ocean have gone viral. And given the fact that animals usually avoid water, is another factor that makes it unusual. But what if the animal is the one that already belongs to the water, and can also enjoy the land? Rings a bell, or do you need more hints? If more hints are needed, then think of the water cuties, that are often dubbed as the ‘doggos' of the water.
Yes, the reference here is seals, and the animal going viral for its love for surfboarding this time is a cute baby seal.
A video that was shared by user ‘dronedudeed’ on their Instagram handle, is going viral over its ‘cutness alert’. The video, which is captioned as “Seal steals a surfers board out in the morning waves in Pacific Beach Ca 6/10/23 video 7”, features a cute baby seal that caught an unexpected interest in a lady surfing in the ocean. Without a fear in the world, the seal casually came towards the floating surfer and hopped onto her surfboard. Finding the encounter cute, the lady then gave the tiny seal a good ride on her surfboard, as the ‘sea doggo’ enjoyed the unusual experience. Not only the people around the surfer, but the netizens too, found themselves spellbound by the cute encounter.

“This is about the cutest damn thing I’ve seen in ages! The surfer was so good not yo try to touch the little guy. So beautifully respectful of wildlife,” a user said. Meanwhile, another user expressed their desire to experience the same and wrote, "I’ve never wanted to surf before. This just changed my mind.”
