Surfing is becoming more and more popular everywhere, and in California, a small black goat has followed the trend.

The animal, called Chupacabrah, shows others how to surf.

Tourist Kimberly Van Donsel first spotted Chupacabrah while she was browsing the internet for surfing courses.

The goat idea came to surfing teacher Dana McGregor, or the 'Goatfather'; he enjoys the opportunity to increase people's - and animals' - experiences.

The surf lover obtained a goat to eat up unwanted plants in his backyard.

McGregor and 'Goatee' soon formed a close relationship and the sportsman decided to share his love of surfing.

Goatee seemed to think it was the most normal thing in the world and demonstrated obvious skill on the waves.

Other goats then followed.

After McGregor posted images of surfing goats on social media, a new business was born.

The 'Surf Goat Day' packages provide a surf lesson, rental of the surfboard and a ride with a surfing goat.

Elizabeth French had a fabulous time.

Beginner Rebekah Abern immediately realised that the goat knew how to behave on water.

Its skill and positioning on the board were professional and there was no doubt who was the better surfer!
