Lucy Pet’s Gnarly Crankin’ K9 Wave Maker, designed exclusively for Lucy Pet by American Wave Machine, is ready to fire it up again this year with a 20-city national “Wave Tour II” featuring first time ever surfin’ doggies doing tricks on moving boards plus surfin’ kitty cats. All this and more can be seen at America’s Family Pet Expo April 28-30 at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California.

“We thought we’d never be able to top last year’s Gnarly Crankin’ Wave Maker Tour,” Lucy Pet Products President Joey Herrick said. “But I think we’ve done it! Never before have there been dogs doing tricks on moving surfboards, not to mention cats that can hang 20 with the best of them.”

Wave Tour II will feature celebrity pets and company mascots Ricky the Rescue Cat and his girlfriend Ethel riding the wild surf for the first time. Rescued golden retriever, “Surfin’ Jack,” will be showing off his board ridin’ skills as well.

Surfing demonstrations will take place aboard the Lucy Pet Gnarly Crankin’ Wave Maker, the world’s only mobile wave maker using proprietary technology from American Wave Machines, Inc. the leader in out-of-ocean surfing. It consists of a 75-foot trailer filled with 5,000 gallons of water and an automatic wave generator. Surfin’ dogs doing tricks and feline demonstrations will take place at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. PST on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
