00:00The Year That Was, 1982
00:09At 10 months old, Parks has yet to utter his first word, or take his first step, a typical baby.
00:17Or is he?
00:18At the tender age of 6 months and 29 days, Parks broke the world record for the youngest water skier in the history of the sport.
00:25Your heart just starts beating, and you're so proud of him, and he's smiling, and he's enjoying it, and it's really a unique feeling.
00:37What'd you think of the baby?
00:38Oh, wonderful. Never seen anything like it in my life.
00:42Fantastic.
00:43Real small, right? He's younger than this one, isn't he?
00:45That's just incredible.
00:47He'll be great one day.
00:48In a way, wakeboarding chose me.

01:12It seems like it was pre-written.
01:42Amazing ski baby.
01:50He can't even walk, but he water skis like a pro.
01:52He's a junior, a master champion, now he's a master of master teams.
01:56Wow, it's right.
