The float, which featured a beach and pond (with waves) all decorated with natural landscaping materials, was 19 feet long and weighed in at 110,000 pounds and set a new Guinness record for its sheer size. The surfing dogs wore specially created wet suits for the occasion and practiced their routines in the real ocean.
The body of the float was actually constructed from an old shipping container and was constructed by Fiesta Parade Floats, a company that has been building parade floats for decades. Everyone made it home safely, no sloshed water or seasick dogs and by all accounts, the surfing dogs were crowd favorites.
No word yet on what they plan to do for an encore next year!
