Surfer celebrates his birthday by catching a few waves with his pet goat.

Surfers in Grover Beach, California on Thursday got to see a rather unexpected surfer on the waves.

Dayna McGregor brought his goat, Goatee, to the beach to ride a few waves into shore.

He says they were out celebrating his birthday, but the real celebration was over Goatee's first water adventure.

"She did pretty well. She got up on a couple waves..got up? We put her on a couple waves, and she was pretty succesful," McGregor said afterward.

McGregor originally bought Goatee to eat weeds in his backyard, but she soon became a pet.

Now, McGregor says Goatee goes everywhere with him and is even going to be the mascot for his soccer camp.
