Oldest wakeboarder

Not just because there's threads like youngest wakeboarder, heaviest wakeboarder and whatever else (ugliest wakeboarder, has that been discussed yet?).
In the old geezer thread was mentioned that an 80-year old guy got up on a board. In 2 weeks time we're going to try to get an even older (though slightly) dude up riding.
Anyone know of anyone older than that riding? Is there such a thing as an official world record for this?

Is that "banana george"? I thought he got his nickname because he liked yellow. Maybe he got it from that stunt.
