Surfing's becoming more popular.

But in California, it's a goat - Chupacabrah - who's riding the waves.

And it's showing new surfers how to do it.

Tourist Kimberly Van Donsel first saw Chupacabrah when she was searching online for surfing lessons.

Dana McGregor teaches people how to surf.

He's now known as the 'Goatfather', because all of this was his idea.

McGregor first bought a goat to help clear his garden.

But he developed a special relationship with the animal, Goatee.

McGregor loved surfing so he decided to take him along.

He realised that Goatee was talented at surfing.

When he let other goats try, he saw they could all do it!

When McGregor started sharing pictures on social media, a new business began.

The 'Surf Goat Day' packages include a lesson, the equipment and a ride with a goat.

Elizabeth French, a tourist, enjoyed her experience with the animal.

And new surfer Rebekah Abern learned from watching her goat.

It was clear the animal knew what to do.

The goat's position and balance on the board were excellent!
