Three Tree Point, WA - A very cute YouTube video is becoming a viral video sensation.

It shows a group of seal pups trying - and often failing - to pull themselves up onto an old windsurf board.

The video was posted to YouTube on March 8 by a user who goes by the username HydRemote. As of this morning it has 125,000 views.

The description of the video says HydRemote used a small GoPro camera to record 30 minutes of the seals trying to get onboard the windsurf board in Washington State's Puget Sound following a rain storm.

The video was then edited down to just over 3:00 long and set to music.
