Dozer's love for dog surfing revitalizes doug hokstad's passion for the ocean
Beyond Dozer’s surf ability, he has done something amazing in my life. As a native San Diegan, I grew up surfing and loved being in the water. Due to two spine surgeries, I had to make a permanent exit from the ocean. Surfing was taken away from me and I was frustrated about the theft and sad about the departure. I was so bummed by the lost love affair that I avoided being around the ocean. It was too painful to watch from afar.
Dozer has rescued me from my “surfing despair.” Because of his discovery and love of surfing, I am now back in the ocean surfing with Dozer, I can't believe it.
The magic of surfing visits me every time Dozer and I make our way through the surf to the line up. When that perfect little wave sets up, I turn Dozer around and I immediately feel the energy of the swell. As I push Dozer into the clean swell for a perfect ride and see him working his way down the line… I am surfing again! THANKS DOZER!
I wrote the book out of gratitude for what Dozer has done in my life. More importantly I believe that his story might encourage many children to believe that they can do something great.
