...Along with a tire.

Are the larger one's still too young to fly? (they don't look like adults)

Wonder how it worked out for them?

The smaller geese are youngsters and can't yet fly. The larger geese are adults and should be able to fly.

Ocean surfing I get. Not seeing the point of this... Looks like a lot of effort to go nowhere. The fluid mechanics are interesting though
