Sea-goat. Multiple sea-goats would make it the goat sea.

Goatee: Oh my God, what is that man doing to his Capra aegagrus hircus!?

Adorable!
I just noticed that Goatee is owned by or has some sort of association with FLO Soccer Ministries, whose mission "is to share the Love of Jesus through soccer!"
I have to give them credit for going with non-obvious witnessing techniques. It's like they came up with their organization through a game of Mad Libs.

Notice how they try to frame Goatee's escape attempt as a fun run on the beach?

Burhanistan: You know, it would be easier to surf if he killed that goat, and had a taxidermist permanently mount it to the surfboard.
Plus, post-surfing Beach BBQ Party! WOOOOO!!

This may be a tragic example of the dangers of individual goat ownership. They're actually very emotionally needy creatures and, in the absence of other goats herd with, will glom on to their owner with a desperate, cloying intensity that would be aggressively medicated against were such behaviour to manifest in a human.
Pretty soon you can't even go surfing without the deranged beast nestled in your crotch, lest it have a histrionic breakdown and give sour milk until you consent to go with it to couples therapy four times a week.

I love how surfer dude is holding back on goat collar with all his might, both knowing that he'll CHARGE if given the chance. All the while, pet goat is thinking in his little goat head, "WHAT THE FUUUU AM I DOING IN THE OCEAN. LET ME GO. BAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed that Goatee's surfing beach is only a few miles from me. But Grover Beach has long been suffering from an inferiority complex with its neighbor Pismo Beach having the Famous Clams, the Monarch Butterflies and the classic Bugs Bunny cartoon. The town should just go ahead and make an endorsement deal with the Sesame Street Muppet of the same name. (Since everyone who passes through the first time always asks if they're related)

The goat just wants a nice field to romp in with some other goats. The bike rides are fun but really, beaches are for EATING BEACH GRASSES not some silliness with surf boards. It wants off the surfboard.
I do not think introducing them to the world in which the celaphopods live is such a great idea. They'll start talking.

Your grammar is fine; I was suggesting listening to your goat and going surfing when it demands. As couples therapy. 4x/week may not be enough, however. Therefore I'd recommend supplementing the week with solo sessions.

Yeah. It looks really stressed when it's standing on the surfboard while occasionally drinking from the water. People like doing stuff with their pets. The fuckers!

It occurs to me that I wouldn't know a happy goat if I saw one. I kept wondering if the goat here was really into it, or was just kind of sitting there being a goat, trying to keep his foothold as the world happened around it. As if "goat" isn't just an animal, but a state of being.
"How was that goat feeling?"
"He seemed pretty goat. The usual."

I, for one, would not have watched that video and thought, hey a beautifully lit video of two guys at Pismo Beach on their tandem bike towing their pet goat, I totally bet those two guys are religious missionaries.
As for the goat my experience with goats is that they do what they want and if you try to make them do anything else they just trample the shit out of everything until you stop. So I'm guessing the goat is pretty into it.

It has been my experience with goats that if they don't want to do something, they let you know. I certainly wouldn't want to be behind a goat, like that guy was, if I were forcing it to do something it didn't like.
