Not to be nit picking myself, but NH Law states:
Riding on Bow, Gunwales or Transom is allowing passengers to ride on a vessel in places where there may be a chance of falling overboard while underway. This includes passengers straddling the bow, or riding on the gunwales or trans.
Here's the link to the full web site for those who are interested in learning more about NH Laws & Responsibilities:

Granted the children are wearing PFD's which is a good thing and shows an effort for safe boating, but allowing passengers to ride on any boat on the bow, which is not a bow rider is considered unsafe and probably not the 'best' image to include in this video.
The overall video is a great idea and you've captured many nice things. Good Luck with this.
