A new extreme experience lets you combine a love of agricultural matters and a passion for ripping down barrels.
Dana McGregor is the brain behind Surfing Goats, a one-and-a-half to two hour experience which is exactly what it sounds like.
The California native first fell in love with the four-legged caprine animals when he got Goatee, an older goat who helped him clear poisoned oak in his back yard.
They quickly became so inspeperable that Dana invited the hooved pal down to the beach to join him for a surfing session.
Along with human friend Ryan Valliere, he decided to put the goat on a board.
"She had really good balance," Valliere told the Los Angeles Daily News. "We were like, 'Let's push her into waves.'"
Goatee was such a dab hand at balancing on the boards that Dana tried out other goats, and realised they also had the knack.
Surfing Goats was born.
Now Dana teaches people to surf in California's Pismo Beach by using Goatee's kids, Pismo and younger sister Grover.
Sadly Goatee cannot help new recruits as she died several years ago, so now Pismo is the star of the show.
"I just knew it was time for him to get in the water," Dana said of his now number one goat surfer in a Youtube video.
"After seeing him surfing a couple of times, I just knew he was a natural. It was obvious — I was like, this guy wants to be a big wave surfer."
The Surf Goat Day package includes a surf lesson, board rental, tandem surf ride, and spin on the Rapture Party Wave Board, and is open to all ages and experience levels.
For those who prefer to stay on land, there's a one-and-a-half-hour Surf Goat Hike in Pismo Preserve in which guests walk with Pismo, play a game called GoatBall and get to drink a glass of goat milk.
Dana has since expanded his goat empire by writing two children's books.
The Surfing Goat, Goatee is a "fun, true story of a man’s plan to get a goat to eat the weeds in his mom’s yard, and to then eat the goat himself, takes a turn for the better for the man and for the goat!
"Their experiences through life together are out of this world. Many are saying this is one of the greatest surfing goat books of our generation!"
The follow up, Pismo’s Party Wave, follows a similar theme.
"A story of friendship told by The Goat Father about Pismo, The Surfing Goat, who has a dream to bring all of creation together, for such a time as this!" the blurb explains.
"Let them take you on the wave that changed the world. Many are saying THIS is one of the greatest surfing goat books of our generation!"
Pismo Beach lies about 150miles to the north of Los Angeles, which can be flown to from a number of different UK airports.
