You kissed me with your puppy kisses until I started smiling again. I had so much anger before I met you… no direction. You’re giving me so much far more than I could ever offer to you. I love you so much sugar the surfing dog. 🥺💕 #sugarthesurfingdog

Trained for 13 years to get to this point. 😞💔!! (kooks don’t try it) #danerous #thick #shallow ☣️. Shug locked in for a double section barrol, we’ve been dreaming of this our entire life, for this. I’ve always avoided packing a barrel with sugar , we’ve been in this situation many times and I usually bottom turn around it. 😹.. but I had to trust 🤞🏽, we made it out, it’s weird I knew this was going to happen. even before it did, I tried to go to the surf ranch a few years prior on a random drive with sugar, (4hrs) knocked on the window , told they hi I’m the owner of sugar ! They laughed.. sent me away.. but I didn’t give up !!! they finally happened,thank you @kswaveco for trusting us July 26, 2025 . One of the best days of our life. #sugarthesurfingdog #dontgiveup
