This is our son Ryder learning to ski at the age of 7.5 months at Lake Dyer, Queensland, on his naming day 17th February 2013. PLEASE NOTE: He is not actually behind a boat he is just being pulled along the shoreline. Ryder was completely safe and we believe as his parents he has the strength and ability to do this with no distress at all. Bear in mind you cannot compare every child. We encourage him to do all our family orientated activities! Next step is to get him beside the boat next season when its warmer again.
