BONUS: The Story Behind The “Surfboard Kid” Viral Photo…



That “surfboard kid” meme you’ve seen all over the internet? That’s a photo of Meagan and her son Isaac in 2003. We’re popping in with the full backstory on the photo, how the meme took off without our knowledge or Meagan’s permission, and what we’re doing to bring the focus back to the real story.

Watch the video backstory here.

    What a great message- good to hear as I just went through a tough year with my three year old. Also, very classy response- love how you took back the story and made it into something with so much more depth and perspective.
