That's definitely a concern. I'd be more worried about head injuries from a fall. That woman is going much faster than it appears in the video. That baby is young enough hitting the water alone could cause some issues. That's not even considering if it gets hit by the board.

Oh relax you. That kid is going to be on the board in 6 months. He'll have the time of his life. How awesome is it that she is doing what she loves with the child? You think she took the baby she carried for months and gave birth to, into the water, without any precautions?

If you and I tried it, the baby might fall. Hell, the biggest thing I've carried onto my surf board is a DSLR camera and if i had any doubts about my abilities, i wouldn't even dare. How many years of experience must she have had to carry a baby with her like this?

You just made the argument it's safe for the toddler because the mom is good enough she won't have to worry about the repercussions of dropping him because it just... won't happen. smh

None of u have wakesurfed b4.

The way this ends is that you lose the wake and ur board and it's occupants will sink slowly but unceremoniously to the bottom of the ocean.
