Rowdy The Skateboarding Dog Previews Upcoming Event in Ventura

VENTURA, Calif. (KEYT) – Things are about to get rowdy at the Ventura Harbor because the short dawgs will be in da house!

Happening this Saturday, Rowdy the Skateboarding Dachshund will be hosting a dog-friendly event at the Ventura Harbor, set to feature vendors, races, photo ops, competitions, and more!

Rowdy is the viral skateboarding pup with over 300,000 followers on Instagram. In 2024, Rowdy made history right here on the Central Coast by becoming the first dog to skateboard in the X Games.

Rowdy and her owners, Ivan Cano & Kim Estrada, joined Your Morning News to talk about their return to Ventura.

"I think naturally the moment we brought her home, as skateboarder, she was consumed by the environment that she was in, and skateboarding was very much a part of our lifestyle, so she was just along for the ride," said Estrada.
