Especially true if you are riding regular (port side). In my experience, there is a HUGE difference between just driver + child and then driver + 2x adult passengers. Way more of a difference than going from 2 passengers to 4 passengers. I'd guess you have to overcome 2x the driver's weight when surfing regular to get enough push to feel stable. Easier for goofy riders who get the driver's weight.
