At nine months old , babies , if they are really advanced , might be crawling around on the floor , or shuffling from A to B . However , this tiny tot has been filmed surfing - as his father takes him out on his bodyboard . Jorge Tirado , 43 , captured footage of his son riding the waves for the first time on a GoPro camera , and uploaded online . Like a pro : The footage ends with the baby breaking out into a big smile as he rests on the board . The footage shows dad and baby choosing the largest waves , and they even ended up going through the tube in the middle of the wave . Although the youngster does seem nervous when going into the cold water , it soon changes to a smile once the board takes to the waves . Tirado does not specify exactly where the video was shot but tagged it as being in Puerto Rico . Not impressed ... Jorge 's son looks uncomfortable as they ride into a wave . The baby is visible at the height of a huge wave , bracing himself for impact , with his father propped up over him . The baby looks surprised upon entry into the wave , but handles the impact well . Although there was some criticism over the stunt from online viewers , the dad defended the decision to take his son who he did not name into the water saying : 'My son first try . Thanks to everyone . ' I encourage you to safely bring your kids to the ocean , after all the ocean is the place where it all began . 'By far , this is the best sport for your spiritual , mental and physical health . ' In the video , Jorge can be seen holding his son , who is unnamed , and getting him ready for a day 's surfing . As the two ride ride through the middle of the tube of a wave , the baby is all smiles at the motion . Just chilling : Jorge Tirado , 43 , floats with his son in preparation before entering the waves . Beginner 's nerves : At first the youngster does seem a little nervous when entering the cold water , but he soon learns to love the movement through the water . The baby is then seen in the water , with waves splashing over his face as he is held on the board . At times , the tot does n't look impressed , as the water cascades over him . But he ends with a smile as he is joined by another surfer . While taking an infant out onto the waves can be dangerous , it is not uncommon for experienced surfers or bodyboarders to introduce their kids to the ocean at a young age . Pro-surfer John John Florence , 22 , for example , has said that he was only six-months-old when his mother put him in a life vest and sat him on the nose of her surfboard as she paddled into waves .
