Meet Ryan Rustan and his canine companion Sugar, the surfing dog. Ryan grew up in Huntington Beach and comes from a long line of surfers. From an early age, he hung out at the pier and got into a rough crowd of hardcore surf rats, leading to a troubled life as a young man.

The two have since become legends, inspiring visitors and locals with their abilities in the waves, and their special relationship.
