It is possible. I was riding 100 yd waves in Waikiki last week, w/ my 2 year old girl in front…my wife had our 4 year old on her board. We certainly didn’t look as stylish as “Awesome Dad”, but we were surfing none the less. Agree with “Me”…arm floaties are bad news!
I’m sorry but 100yd or 100 ft waves don’t exist at Waikiki, 20ft waves are hard to come by. I’m from Hawaii born and raised. If you’re referring to how far you traveled, it’s usually measured in time not distance as that matters more to surfers than how far you actually go.
But going back to the photo, it is possible to do something like this. A good enough surfer can navigate the board as long as it’s not fast breaking or too steep of a drop-in, as long as he’s got a hold on the kid, he should be fine.
This a real photo. Anyone who has surf experience knows that this is possible if the conditions are right. Many kids in Hawaii, California, Florida etc… have been on surfboards at this age.
Awesome Dad’s real name is Sion Milosky, and yes that’s his real daughter on the surfboard with him. Sadly, Awesome has died. He drowned at Mavericks this last week. He was a well known Hawaiian surfer. Here’s a tribute to Awesome Dad on Surfline: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/in-memory-of-sion-milosky_53514/
And yet his hair is so dry…
Ultra Surfer Dude never wipes out.
photoshopped toddler is photoshopped
indeed, but it’s still fun
I feel a need for chubby bubbles girl!
Let me guess.. you can tell by the pixels, and you’re sure you’ve seen a lot of ‘shops in your time?
+1 ^^
Nope. I have a toddler that age and the impossibility of a surfing toddler is staggering.
+6 ^^
Very well, I admit defeat lol
unless if the toddler is asian & has ADD or ADHD, then it is possible. I mean, sh*t there’s a 10 y/o asian kid that flies full 3D with an RC Heli WTF?
NZLD
-NiCad Drag Racer-
That’s so true!
Please god, tell me that’s shopped. He’s far too hot otherwise.
I know, right? Should be awesome dad is HOTSH!T!
u cannot simply surf into mordor. unless you are a magikarp
Always so negative! Pfft! Dad liked you best, I don’t know why.
Magikarp can’t surf at all. All it does is splash…>_>
And I don’t see why my previous comment had to be moderated. -facepalm-
I don’t know about a Magikarp, since all they do is Splash. I’m fairly sure that a Seaking or a Mudkip could surf into Mordor, though! lol!
MMMMmmm. Super awesome. I want him to be MY kid’s daddy!
Awesome dad IS awesome–and hawt, damn!
I bet that he isn’t even a dad i bet that that isn’t his surfboard LOL
Epic Dad would have actually used a proper flotation device… not water wings that pop off and let small children drown.
This is AWESOME dad – not EPIC dad. Epic dad is still on the beach trying to get the kid into the proper floatation device….
He reminds me of Guy Pierce!
Yeah, we all want to ride his `board`.
Best shoppy ever…
His awesomeness caused that wave to form in the first place.
Awesome dad is extremely hawt *,*
Sexy dad is sexy.
gawd why can’t all men look that good? I want him to ride me!!
WANT.
parenting!
your doing it right!
