Wakeboarding can be tricky for the best of us. But baby Parks Bryant makes it look easy – despite being under a year old.

Parks broke the world record for the youngest ever wakeboarder at just over six months, having trained on the water for his entire short life.

Dad Tim, who is an avid wakeboarder from New South Wales, has been training his son up since day dot.

“We don’t know if he’ll remember this but we wanted to be able to remind him he can forget what other people say and just go and do it,” the Australian explained to Courier Mail.

Tim has modified a wakeboard for his baby son, and explains that the device is safe for him to use – and would allow him to separate from it if he fell off.
