One Step Closer to Pigs flying: Surfing Alpacas

File this under ideas from a late night of drinking that evolved into, well, something amazing and totally squeal-worthy. If only we all had the follow-through of this surfer, the world would probably be a more interesting place.

Anyways, like any good Peruvian, Dominigo has taken the first step towards bringing his alpaca to stardom with a stellar name choice. Pisco, the traditional Peruvian (or Chilean, depending on who you ask) liquor, is as ubiquitous and beloved as vodka in Russia. It's made from grapes, and is practically a challenge to find anything else to drink there. Let it be known henceforth that Pisco is now also a famous surfing alpaca.

I'm not sure how he managed to get his alpaca accustomed to water, much less the ocean. I remember one of the challenges during obstacle courses competition at the county fair with my llama, was literally leading him up to a mirror to see if he could handle his own reflection. A good portion of the other contestants' llamas would get spooked coming within 5 feet of such a horrific image, and undoubtedly this would not be a blue ribbon performance.

Pisco wears a special life jacket, and manages to stand up and ride waves on the front of Domingo's board, which I'm guessing is far better than I would do. He falls off the board from time to time, and doesn't seem to mind swimming around at all in the waves.

Oh yeah, another obstacle course challenge at the fair was leading your llama through a small pool of water, that was either in a kiddy-pool, or some sort of jerry-rigged tarp with about 2 inches of water. Literally half of the contestants WOULD NOT DO THIS.

In conclusion, my gut suspicion is that Pisco has been enjoying the Peruvian custom of chewing on coca leaves in order to ease altitude sickness help with his "anxiety." He probably doesn't even remember getting wet. Case closed.
