A father and son in Hawaii celebrated Father's Day by introducing the world to a wave-riding piglet that's a third-generation surfing pig.

Kai Holt, owner of famed swine Kama the Surfing Pig, said the porker has ballooned to a career-ending 300 pounds since he first found fame with a viral video two years ago.

Holt said Kama's legacy is in safe hooves -- the pig's son, Kama 2, has been surfing with Holt's son, Braiden.

"The pig, he usually sticks his tongue out when he's riding because he likes the wind and breeze," Braiden told KITV of Kama 2.

The father and son said Kama 2 is nearing a size where he will be unable to continue surfing, but Father's Day saw the first surfing outing of Kama 3, Kama 2's daughter, on Honolulu's Sandy Beach.
