Surfing.

Surfing is not an easy sport to pick up, especially if you are small and slippery. Take it from these seal pups. Their friends have it already figured out, but they both can't quite master the balancing act. After a while, it clicks for one of the two, but it still takes some time for his uncoordinated pal to get on and stay on. What we love most about the little guy is that he never stops trying, no matter how many times he falls back into the water. Watch the video to see if he ever manages to make it. ...

Zorro the Surfing Piglet

All of New Zealand is going hog wild for Zorro, the surfing pig. It's not every day you get to see a piglet swimming in the ocean, let alone hanging 10. But Zorro's owner, Matthew Bell, put the snorkeling porkling on his first board at the tender age of 3 weeks. Of course, that was only about five weeks ago, but Zorro has made a lot of progress -- and a lot of fans -- since then. ...

We have a meowing MacGyver on our paws. This feline doesn't break a sweat under pressure. Instead, it gets creative. Pursued by a dog, our crafty kitty hops onto a conveniently placed surfboard and hangs 10 across a pool, leaving the dog hanging back. That's two major feline foes it just conquered: canines and moisture. ...

Surfing may already have gone to the dogs, but now it's going to the goats too. According to ABC News, two goats named Goatee and Pismo are taking their surprising surf talents to the California waves. The farm animals learned from their owner Dana McGregor how to hang 10.

After her success, McGregor started giving lessons to Goatee's son ...

Remember in the mid-to-late '90s when everything was "extreme?" The X Games gripped the attentions of the country's boys and young men, giving us a thirst for all things intense, which we quenched without actually risking profound damage to our bodies by using products like deodorant and toothpaste that had the word "extreme"--or even better, "Xtreme"--on their labels. But that wasn't extreme. You know what's extreme? A bulldog who surfs, sandboards, snowboards, and skateboards. You know what you don't do? Even a single one of those things, probably. I definitely don't. When I was 9, I got on my friend's skateboard, wobbling and falling on my butt almost instantly. That was the last time I ...

When you think about the sport of surfing in America, overwhelmingly you tend to think of sunny Southern California. Maybe you also think of surfing off the coast of Florida. You probably don't think at all about surfing in the Colorado River at Glenwood Whitewater Park in Glenwood Spring, Colo. But apparently nobody told these geese that. They seem to have no trouble hanging 10--or really six. Actually none, since geese technically don't have toes. Or surfboards. ...
