In the video, a dog deftly keeps his balance and rides a skimboard, and he continually repeats this skillful feat.
Skiboarding is a water sport in which a person rides a skimboard, a smaller and thinner version of a surfboard, along the edge of shallow water, usually on a beach. Although skimboarding dogs are not familiar, dogs have been known to be trained to skimboard or to accompany their owners while practicing the sport.
A video of a dog named Rufus skillfully skimboarding has garnered many views among social media users.
In the video, published on the Instagram account @minibullrufus, dedicated to the bull terrier, Rufus glides effortlessly across the water’s surface.
The video showing Rufus’ skill in skimboarding has captivated the internet audience, demonstrating this animal’s fantastic abilities and agility.
Of course, dogs love to do funny things, just like their owners, but how do you get started with this kind of training? Maybe your dog just looked at you and said: “Oh, that’s cool; let me catch up to that board and jump on it?”. – commented one user.

The demonstration of skimboarding skills of Rufus conquered the Internet audience, demonstrating this animal’s fantastic abilities and agility.
” I know that dogs and their owners love to do fun things, but how do you get started with this kind of training? Does your dog look at you and say: “Oh, that’s cool, let me catch up to that board and jump on it?”?” – commented one user.
“This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen a dog learn or love. 1. Skimboarding; 2. Skateboarding; 3. Surfing,” wrote another user.
This video and several other posts on this page prove that dogs with the proper temperament and training can learn to skimboard with their owners. Typically, the dog will climb onto the skimboard as it is pushed into shallow water, and then the board glides across the water’s surface with the dog on it. This requires a good balance between the dog and owner and a certain level of cooperation.
