SUPDog Hawaii
A simple dream, to never leave his dog at home became the catalyst to a wonderful new community of ocean active pups. Born in San Diego, J Tyler Landon was raised with several loving dogs. His mom facilitated a nourishing family of boys with her canine collaborative spirit. She always took her family to the beach, and loved seeing her boys play. After her passing, Tyler felt deeply connected to dogs, as their effortless love continued to nourish and raise him into adulthood.
One day in 2017, Tyler rescued a puppy in the middle of the Arizona desert. He named her Phoenix. They were destined for greatness together. (Watch the Youtube Video Below) Upon moving to Oahu for surf, Tyler and Phoenix became an inseparable beach duo. Tyler works at a Stand Up Paddle Board shop in Honolulu, and couldn’t stand the feeling of leaving his Pit/lab at home. So he began bringing her to work and in the ocean. The experiences he had during their adventures in the Pacific firmly cemented his belief in water training.
This is how SUPDog Hawaii came to be.
Tyler’s daily goal is to foster dogs, and rescue people, one wave at a time. He’s committed to the benefits of foundational water training, and he’s excited to share his knowledge and passion for SUP, Surf, and Dogs with the Oahu Wolfpack community.
While surfing Queens in Waikiki, Tyler and Phoenix shared a wave with a majestic Japanese woman named Machi. She smiled as she watched Phoenix hang ten, impressed she decided to become Phoenix’s mom. Born in Yokohama Japan, Machi also grew up with a host of dogs and loved the genuine experiences she shared with her four legged friends. She always had a dream to one day surf with a dog, and after meeting Phoenix, her dream came true. Machi brings a vibrant feminine energy to the SUPDog Ohana.
Together, Tyler, Phoenix, and Machi lead a tribe of ocean loving canines. They facilitate healthy experiential activity on Oahu, and provide a balanced happy life for dogs at home.
