Four-legged surf star Mango

Surfing is almost compulsory for visitors to North Cornwall but mastering the waves takes a combination of dedication and fearlessness.

Enter Mango, a two-year-old Labrador belonging to Matt Slater, curator of Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium.  Mango honed her surf skills on a boogie board in a rockpool before heading out into the sea off Crantock beach, where she catches the waves alongside her owner.

The pooch is now a YouTube sensation – with almost 15,000 views - and she has been featured on Newsround.
