Introducing 18-month old Nevek - youngest shredder ever?

7 comments 05:17PM Wed, 2nd January 2013

Ok, so we all know that learning something at a young age can go a long way in helping you get really good at something. But as cute as little Nevek here is, surely 18-months is a little young to start snowboarding? Most kids are learning to stand up and walk for the first time at that age, nevermind cruising down a piste on a snowboard! Saying that, this is Canada we’re talking about here – a country where kids are practically born with ice skates on their tiny feet…

As snowboarders ourselves we’re sure many of us can relate to being keen for our kids to give it a try as well. But seriously, 18-months? Props to the kid though and if his love for the sport continues to blossom post-pampers, we could very well have another snowboard prodigy on our hands. You gotta feel for ‘the veteran’ though, surely dad should be encouraging her rather than stating on a national news channel that she’s ‘not good enough’!? Future pushy parent in the making?
