That is very sad to see. Worse than Michael Jackson hanging his kid over the balcony. Where is his commonsense.

In offshore winds and all. Some people deserve to be taken out of the equation so that they can no longer pollute the gene pool.

That's a bit harsh mate, his missus most probably filmed it

wtf - is everyone in this forum going to stop puting childrens bike seats on their bikes and taking their kid for a spin.

Granted it may not be the best spot for the kid, imagine the ball pinch you could get from the chicken loop moving around. What if he set up the second bar and the kid rode on the board there's heaps of pictures of that going around and no one's said a thing - same out come if it all goes wrong.

The kid is an infant, not a child. It has no idea what is happening. All it perceives is noise and movement. It's not learning anything and it's not getting any more out of it than if his dad was bouncing him on his hip.

A kiteboard is not a bike. There's no logical or sensible reason for the kid to be on a kiteboard other than the dad to pander to his own ego. Dumb ****.

Yeah, he looks more like an infant and could a kid that age swim? If he fell in how would the dad stop him drowning?

What a fool.

Amazingly dumb. Alas - there is no license for parenting.

OT i know, but you guys really should stop using the 3k acronym. i'm sure you're all fine folk and mean no harm, but for plenty of people who don't know you it's just plain offensive, no matter what you may say. i know this has been aired and argued before, but it keeps getting on my nerves whenever i see it.

I agree 200% and if I ever see that done with an infant that is not likely to be able to swim I will sue the **** out of them!!!

Agreed, all you can really do is call child protection services. Suing in this case would be pretty pointless
