Well of course he won first place in the Amateur Husky Cat Division at Pipeline Surf Contest on Oahu. Tabs accomplished many great things, including winning the world’s most prestigious surfing competition. He was proud of that win, partly because he also snagged major feline fashion campaigns from it with Roxy, Billabong, Quicksilver and Local Motion.

He was proud of his beach body and wasn’t afraid to show it off.

To this day, you’ll hear cats in the surf community speak of his physique and physical feats with wonder. Could he have made it as a pro cat surfer? I bet he could have.

Rosie is more interested in the engineering aspects of surfing, of course. She’s working on a new composite material with which to manufacture surfboards, with the goal of creating a lighter, faster, more efficient board in tune with both nature and physics. At least that’s how she explains it to me (I think she dumbs it down).

Because she is wildly ambitious, just like my previous kitty employer, she plans to release one surfboard line for humans and one for cats. Look for them in surf shops this coming holiday season.
