It began in 1978 when a tiny squirrel was rescued after a hurricane in Florida. Chuck and Lou Ann Best welcomed her into their family. What started as a lighthearted joke — teaching a squirrel to water-ski — became a lifelong passion.
Since her first public performance in 1979, Twiggy has brought joy to millions while wearing her signature tiny life jacket. The act has traveled across the US, Canada, Europe, and beyond, appearing on major TV shows and in films.
After Chuck Sr. tragically passed in a boating incident, water safety became the heart of the show. Today, Chuck Best Jr. and Toni continue the multi-generational family legacy with new squirrels, always promoting one simple message: Wear your life jacket.
