According to the World
Barefoot Center, the record for the youngest water skier has been held for
decades by Parks Bonifay, who successfully took to the water aged six months
and 29 days.
Zyla, who was six months
and 27 days old when she made her attempt, managed to beat this record by a
mere 48 hours.
The six-month-old girl has
made a splash by breaking the record for the world's youngest water skier.
Zyla St Onge managed to
glide 686ft (209m) on her own across a man-made lake in Florida, with adults
treading water along her journey.
Although she can't even
walk yet, the 30-inch baby appeared to be a natural as she stood on junior-size
water skis and gripped a handle bar.
The fact her parents are
professional water skiers may have given her a slight advantage.
Her father Kevin believes
Zyla could have travelled even further if the boat hadn't reached the end of
the lake.
